VS code mangles command when sending selection to R

When I open a .R file and highlight a line and press Shift + Enter, VS code sends the line to R, but it mangles the text. For example, if I try to run

library(data.table)

Here is what I get back from R:

> 00~library(data.table)01~
Error: unexpected numeric constant in "00~library(data.table)01"

Strangest thing. VS Code works fine for me for Go, Typescript, Haskell, Python, but it doesn't like R. Any suggestions?

It looks like bracketed paste mode is on. Try adding this to your settings.json:

"r.bracketedPaste": false

Bracketed paste mode should usually be on if using the radian console but off if using the standard R console.
