Describe the issue:

Inside an if-statement in a Py script, empty lines will lead the cursor to jump to the end of the if-statement when doing ctrl + enter repeatedly. Instead the next code line within the if-statement should be executed. This might be a bit similar to what has been discussed with R-related cursor issues (cf. e.g. #1416, #1259, #1259)

Steps to reproduce the issue:

Here's a demo script:

if __name__ == "__main__":
    print("hello")
    print("it's me")

    print("I would like to say more")
    print("But the cursors skips to the end of the function")

    print("So I can't say what I want to say")
    print("I always jump to the end")

For example, placing the cursor on the line print("hello") and then repeatedly pressing ctrl + enter leads to the following output:

>>> print("hello")
hello
>>> print("it's me")
it's me
>>> print("I always jump to the end")
I always jump to the end

Expected or desired behavior:

The output should be (and this behavior is followed if the print-statements are not in an if-block):

>>> print("hello")
hello
>>> print("it's me")
it's me
>>> print("I would like to say more")
I would like to say more
>>> print("But the cursors skips to the end of the function")
But the cursors skips to the end of the function
>>> print("So I can't say what I want to say")
So I can't say what I want to say
>>> print("I always jump to the end")
I always jump to the end

Were there any error messages in the UI, Output panel, or Developer Tools console?

No errors but I'm not sure this debug messgae is related:

DEBUG Comments: URIs of continue on comments to add to storage .

No implementation file or test is named in the issue. Start by reproducing the behavior in the provided Python script with repeated Ctrl+Enter, then trace the Positron command that executes the current Python statement and advances the cursor. Done means blank lines inside the if-block no longer cause execution to jump to the block's final statement.
