Interpreter details:

R 4.4.1

Describe the issue:

After "unfinished" code (e.g. unclosed bracket) is run and cleared, later codes do not run normally as the console "remembers" the previous unfinished code.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Start an R document
2. Enter in document

if (TRUE) {
  print("hello")
# } # deliberately left unclosed

3. Run the code above in the document with Ctrl/Cmd+Enter
4. Note that the code is now entered in Console.
5. Now we realise we made a mistake → clear the console with Ctrl/Cmd+A and Backspace
6. Fix the code:

if (TRUE) {
  print("hello")
} # now fixed

7.Rerun the code in the document with Ctrl/Cmd+Enter 8. Weird thing happens in console. The code is not run and the console "remembers" the previous code:

>if (TRUE) {
+  print("hello")
+# } # deliberately left unclosed
+
+if (TRUE) {
+  print("hello")
+}

Expected or desired behavior:

The console does not "remember" the wrong code

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

No
