Scanner = i

There is problem with the input.nextInt() method - it only reads the int value.

So when reading the next line using input.nextLine() you receive "\n", i.e. the Enter key. So to skip this you have to add the input.nextLine().

Try it like that:

 System.out.print("Insert a number: ");
 int number = input.nextInt();
 input.nextLine(); // This line you have to add (it consumes the \n character)
 System.out.print("Text1: ");
 String text1 = input.nextLine();
 System.out.print("Text2: ");
 String text2 = input.nextLine();
