PyCharm Run Tool displaying large cursor, missing green text
Hi Everyone - I recently added a text file to my program, and my Run Tool window is now displaying a large cursor and no longer has green text for inputs. Is something in my code triggering this, or is there a setting? Running 3.10 on Windows 10.
Created a second program with a .txt file and Run Tool displayed properly (narrow cursor, green text), which leads me to believe it is something in the former's code. Thank you!

Sorry, I don't exaclty understand which cursor do you mean. Could you please provide a code sample to reproduce the issue?
Thank you, Andrey. The cursor itself in the Run Tool displays in the screen below, then becomes solid when I activate the pane to interact with the program:

And here is my main.py code:
while True:user_action = input("Type add, show, edit, complete or exit: ")user_action = user_action.strip()if 'add' in user_action:todo = user_action[4:]with open('todos.txt', 'r') as file:todos = file.readlines()todos.append(todo)with open('todos.txt', 'w') as file:file.writelines(todos)elif 'show' in user_action:with open('todos.txt', 'r') as file:todos = file.readlines()for index, item in enumerate(todos):item = item.strip('\n')row = f"{index + 1}-{item}"print(row)elif 'edit' in user_action:number = int(user_action[5:])print(number)number = number - 1with open('todos.txt', 'r') as file:todos = file.readlines()new_todo = input("Enter new todo: ")todos[number] = new_todo + '\n'with open('todos.txt', 'w') as file:file.writelines(todos)elif 'complete' in user_action:number = int(user_action[9:])with open('todos.txt', 'r') as file:todos = file.readlines()index = number - 1todo_to_remove = todos[index].strip('\n')todos.pop(index)with open('todos.txt', 'w') as file:file.writelines(todos)message = f"Todo {todo_to_remove} was removed from the list."print(message)elif 'exit' in user_action:breakelse:print("Command is not valid.")print("Bye!")You may have terminal emulation enabled for the console: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/pycharm/2023.2/run-debug-configuration.html#run-debug-parameters:~:text=Emulate%20terminal%20in%20output%20console
Try disabling it in your run/debug configuration.
Thank you, Andrey - looks like that fixed it!
