[SOLVED] Shift+enter inserts extra indents

Shift+enter inserts extra indents

I have a Python source file with some dummy code:

a = 3
if a == 1:
    print("a = 1")
elif a == 2:
    print("a = 2")
else:
    print("Other")

When I submit the code to terminal with shift+enter, I get the following error. It looks like VS Code changed the indentation of my code. The same code ran just fine with shift+enter on my other computer. The error message is as below:

...                                 print("Other")
... 
  File "<python-input-1>", line 3
    elif a == 2:
    ^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Any insights?
