Hey @apskohli, thanks for reporting. This is a regression with respect to the previous behavior in Spyder 5, so we'll fix it in a our 6.0.3 version, to be released in a few weeks.

Another issue which was introduced with version 6.0 is that Run Selection adds extra continuation lines (see attached screenshot) and automatically saves the working python file.

Thanks @dimili for pointing that out. It's tracked in another issue and we'll try to fix it in 6.0.3 as well.
