multiline magic command doesn't end (Jupyter console)

[DataBranner]

In a Jupyter notebook, a "cell magic" command (prefixed with two percent signs) ends at the end of the cell and is automatically invoked:

But if I try the same thing in the Jupyter console, the command never ends, after any number of blank lines:

That only happens if I invoke IPython as jupyter console, though. If I invoke IPython directly as ipython, the cell magic command completes after one blank line:

For each example, the versions of Python and IPython are identical: Python 3.5.2 and IPython 6.1.0 on one machine (installed with pip), Python 3.4.5 and IPython 5.1.0 on another (installed with Conda).

Thanks !

I tracked this down as a bug in ipykernel - see ipython/ipykernel#265.

As a workaround, you can use Alt-Enter (or Esc, Enter) to force it to execute instead of giving you another line.
