Code highlight removed after run selected or current line

[eafpres]

Problem Description

Code highlight removed after run selection or current line and cursor moved to top of highlight

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Any code in editor
2. Highlight some block of code
3. Use the run selected or selection in the toolbar

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Previously, the code would stay highlighted (and I think the cursor was not moved).
This makes it difficult if something goes wrong and you can't get the code lines in the console (due to too many lines).
Yes, it's in history, but that is a convoluted solution to a new problem.

I also have this issue. I just installed 6.0.1 standalone and this change in behavior from the 5.x.x version I was using is not welcome. It also looks like several newlines are added to the code that runs in the console. I select 1 line and run, but there are 3 additional blank lines that appear in the console after the line that I selected.

Hey @eafpres and @ptth222, thanks for reporting. We'll try to take a look at the problem you reported in 6.0.2 or 6.0.3.

[shubham-scisar]

Run selection or current line which is a very vital functionality has been taken down in right click and only available in the Run tab. Please revert it back to the original.

[ccordoba12]

@shubham-scisar, that's a different bug, but we'll take care of that in our 6.0.3 version, to be released in a few weeks. In the meantime, you can downgrade to Spyder 5.
