Vscode-jupyter: Missing proper handling of running indented code chunks

[BCArg]

Bug: Notebook Editor, Interactive Window, Editor cells

Steps to cause the bug to occur

1. In the code below

a = 'this'
b = 'that'

if a == 'this':
    print(f"a is {a}")
else:
    with open('/path/to/str.txt', 'r') as f: # content of /path/to/str.txt is a string that can be split e.g. 'test/test/test'
        raw = f.read()
    string = raw.split('/')[-1]

select the indented code chunk

    with open('/path/to/str.txt', 'r') as f: # content of /path/to/str.txt is a string that can be split e.g. 'test/test/test'
        raw = f.read()
    string = raw.split('/')[-1]

and run it by pressing CTRL + Shift

Actual behavior

Returns an indentation error:

 string = raw.split('/')[-1]
    ^
IndentationError: unindent does not match any outer indentation level

Expected behavior

Proper handling of indentation like other code editors (e.g. Spyder), where no indentation error occurs (see below)

There is no indentation error in the chunk of code run. This is about how vs code (or the python extension) deals with it

Thanks for reporting this! I was able to reproduce this behavior. We'll discuss this at our upcoming triage.

@BCArg, Looks like if you select the entire first line (not skip the first indent of the first line), then the behavior works as you expect. We don't have plans on addressing this in the near future. But we'll leave it open for other users to vote on.

Thanks for the reply. It does help a lot already
