Cursor does not move to end of statement

[lala]

Hi.

System.out.print("Enter feet: ");
	feet = console.nextInt();
	System.out.println();
	System.out.print("Enter inches: ");
	inches = console.nextInt();
	System.out.println();

prompt line: Enter feet:

I want the cursor to position after the colon, but it does not. It positions before the Enter feet: statement.
Any ideas why?
Thanks In Advance

Does that happen in a console (shell) or does it happen in a window created by some IDE (NetBeans, Eclipse etc.)?

kind regards,

I don´t know what a brower has got to do with it but yes, Eclipse does that; note that the moment you start typing the characters end up at the correct position (after the prompt here); don't pay too much attention to it.

kind regards,

The console class is nasty - It has been nothing but trouble with the apps I've seen that use it. It has different behavior from platform to platform and often has issues like those you describe. I still do it the old fashioned way, works wonderfully every time:

BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
String line = in.readLine();
