a
"

For reference Rstudio seems to submit the whole chunk

To Reproduce

  • Enter the above snippet
  • Place cursor infront of the x
  • try submitting via ctrl+enter

Can you fix this issue by yourself? (We appreciate the help)

No (sorry)

Expected behavior
The whole string gets submitted

Environment (please complete the following information):

  • OS: macOS
  • VSCode Version: 1.75.1
  • R Version: 4.2.2
  • vscode-R version: v2.7.1
