This topic has been covered before on other lists, but...
Unfortunately the Standard I/O window in Xcode is a 'pseudoterminal'.
For instance, you cannot use ncurses-type operations and have it behave
the same as from within an actual shell (if I'm wrong here, I'd love to
hear it).
I've learned to live with the extra carriage returns and funky
fscanf/getch behavior when running/debugging from within Xcode. I
won't pretend to understand how complicated it is to make it work like
you were in Terminal, but it certainly could be improved. As always
though, I find it hard to overly criticize a free toolset...

Are you sure? GDB does have a lot of bugs regarding stdin/stdout
(particularly with multi-threaded programs, I've noticed, but then
it's terribly buggy with such apps anyway), but it does work in some
(arguably most) cases... if you mean you can't control gdb and the
program at once, then yes, but you can always control-C to get to
gdb's prompt from your program, and then "c" (continue) to resume your
program. Assuming your input isn't time sensitive, and you don't
block the relevant signal for ctrl-C, etc.
