Using the "execute-current-line"-button, R throws a syntax error for all functions spanning more than 3 lines. Maybe a problem parsing newlines?

Examples: 

working:
test &lt;- function\(\) \{
return\(rnorm\(100\)\)
\}


syntax-error:
test &lt;- function\(\) \{
x &lt;- rnorm\(100\)
return\(x\)
\}

Yes, a problem with newlines. Those would be omitted in the command that actually gets run. Therefore, what gets actually sent to R in the example is:

test &lt;- function\(\) \{  x &lt;- rnorm\(100\)  return\(x\)  \}

which indeed is a syntax error.

Fixed in the development version. Too bad, 0.4.7 is already released with the bug.
