Problem Description

The "input()" function insert a new line before the prompt in both:
1 - Execute in current console
2 - Execute in a dedicated console

This problem has already be reported, and it is true that we can still use the "Execute in an external system terminal" that does not have the issue. However, I use the IDE for my introductory course of Python. Unfortunately, this last option requires to add additional code to avoid that the terminal disappears. This is not easy to explain in an introductory course. Thank you.

What steps reproduce the problem?

Just run this program:
fn = input("Enter your first name ... ")
ln = input("Enter your last name ... ")

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected output:
Enter your first name ... MyFirstName
Enter your last name ... MyLastName

Actual output:

Enter your first name ... MyFirstName

Enter your last name ... MyLastName

Hey @egamess, thanks for reporting. As you said

This problem has already be reported, and it is true that we can still use the "Execute in an external system terminal" that does not have the issue

we are aware of this problem and that's the only workaround for the moment.

However, we understand this issue is very annoying and we'll try to solve it in our next version (5.2.0), to be released next month.
