Thanks for the reply. Frankly, I found the old behavior much more convenient to use. Having the "Run Selection" execute blocks of code separated by blank lines was actually by far my most favorite feature of Spyder. I think most people naturally separate logical sections of the code by blank lines, so the feature was very convenient if I want to trace my code block by block.
I know I can achieve the same effect by using cells, but having to insert the separator(#%%) manually seems a bit cumbersome. But of course this is just my personal opinion. Thanks for the great work. On Monday, September 30, 2013 2:35:55 PM UTC-7, Carlos Córdoba wrote: > > Its functionality became kind of obsolete with the introduction of cells > in 2.2.3.
