Python raw_input, input and other multi-line methods fail to read std input

Question

I"m trying to store 2 multi line inputs in 2 variables. However, std input methods keep getting hung up. I cannot change input format, but I can always expect 2 strings will be provided together. There is a new line character at the end of the first block and a new line character at the end of the second block.

I have tried several solutions from previous posts on how to accept multi line input, but none work for this case: Store multi-line input into a String (Python)

When I try to use this code: y input is accepted but x input is never accepted. I think the compiler is misinterpreting a line break somehow.

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

y = input().strip()
x = input().strip()

I figured out that the problem was IDE specific. VS Code cannot accept large string input from console. No problems when using PyCharm.
