I've recently started getting odd behavior from my notebooks and I can't figure out what happened to cause it. Any cell I run, regardless of how simple or involved the code is, always displays "In [*]" regardless of whether it's done executing or not. The kernel says that it is idle and if I have the cell simply print "done" after it executes all other code, then it will do that but "In" never updates to a number like it used to.
Not that I ever use them, but magic commands don't seem to work either. The docs say I can use "%reset -f" but that just returns an exception complaining about the syntax.
I've tried changing the environment, trying it in a new project, and trying it with a new notebook but the behavior persists which is leading me to the belief something, somewhere, screwed up with the installation itself.
Has anyone else run into this behavior?
