Input in python does not wait for my input in PyCharm

I'm using PyCharm 5.04 and Python 3.4 as interpreter. I can't use input() function in my code and simply run it (Shift+F10), because PyCharm does not give me a chance to enter my input. Here is the code:

x=''
while x!='stop':
    x=input('enter x')
    print(x)
print(x)

If I run it, I'll see:

enter x
enter x
enter x
.....

However, if I highlight the code, click right mouse button and chose in context menu 'execute selection in console', everything will work fine. Also, I can add a string 'from sys import argv' at the beginning of my cod, execute it in terminal by typing 'python name_of_script.py' and everything will be working fine to (just in case, I have ubuntu 15.10).

Is something wrong with my PyCharm settings? What should I do to be able to execute code by simple running it (with Shift+F10, as I get used)? I don't have problems with any other code if it does not have input().

Any help would be appreciated.

Mine is not the usual case, and not specific to PyCharm, but in case anyone has the same issue as me:

For me, the problem was caused by me pasting a multi-line input containing some blank lines when prompted by input() within a while loop.

The solution was to adapt my use of input() to accomodate multiple line, as described here: How to get multiline input from user
