Hi @omkarchandra . This is actually intended behavior. Smart Send feature (which selects minimum executable code and moves the mouse cursor dynamically) only works when there is no explicit selection (this means no highlighting of code). If you wish to have your cursor move, you should just press shift+enter without any highlight on or in the code block that you wish to execute.
