Magic commands as comments not working

[TarjinderSingh]

When using "jupyter.magicCommandsAsComments": true, I use to be able to have:

# %%
#!%%time
print('hi')

run the Python magic timeit interactively. However, it not longer does that, and just executes the chunk as a normal command.

When I go to the interactive Jupyter interface and put in:

%%time
print('hi')

I get the standard output of:

hi
CPU times: user 37 µs, sys: 13 µs, total: 50 µs
Wall time: 45.1 µs

Has something changed?

I reverted the Python and Jupyter extensions (Python: v2021.6.944021595; and Jupyter: v2021.8.1013163132), and it works again. Something appears to be changed between those versions and the current versions for both.

Thanks for reporting a bug @TarjinderSingh. Fix should be in tomorrow's Insiders build and the upcoming Stable release.
