Browse history in IPython console after running script is not working

I cannot reproduce that in iPython alone: if you really think it’s a problem in iPythonm redirect me there.

Description of your problem

Now try to go back in the history with the arrows: What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Do stuff in the IPython console. For instance:

In [0]: A = [1,2.3]; print(len(A))

1. Run a script by clicking the “Play” icon.

In [1]: runfile('/home/myhome/Projects/python/spam.py', wdir='/home/myhome/Projects/python')

1. Try to repeat the command of In [0] by moving with the keyboard arrows: You get stuck in the runfile command and must delete it first before going to the previous history.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I would expect it to work like if you just write in the console, arrows only move in history, not within the string.

Closing as there’s nothing else we can do on the Spyder side.

Thanks Carlos and Maria Camila for looking into this even if it is not a bug in spyder. As a user, I really appreciate it.
