multline block scrolling

[aresnick]

I'm sure I'm missing something here, but I was wondering why scrolling up through indentation breaks everything? In particular, it seems like this should never happen:
In [1]: for i in range(4):
...: print i
...:
...:
0
1
2
3

In [2]: for i in range(4):
    print i
------> print(i)
------------------------------------------------------------
IndentationError: expected an indented block (<ipython console>, line 2)

Thanks!

Note that In [2] is created by hitting up. I'm running Ubuntu 9.10 and IPython 0.9.1

Cannot replicate in 0.10 or trunk.

I'm now on a Mac OS X with 0.10.1 and the problems seems to be fixed (though the display of indentation leaves something to be desired. . .the "print i" line does not appear indented, even though it is.

I don't think there's much we can do about the display - all the text comes from readline, and we don't get a chance to insert our prompt into it. In 0.11, you get individual lines by pressing up, so you press enter in between and get the ...: continuation prompt.
