JTextArea not resetting

Hello. I have a GUI interface setup and all the methods work find except for one minor glitch.
I have a label (message) telling the user what to do and a JTextArea ("input") for inputting data. Another JTextArea ("text") is used for output.   I want to use a replace method that replaces all instances of an integer with another in a linked list. The problem is: between the first input and the second input, the JTextArea will not reset to one line.  I use the following code to attempt this:
              input.setText("");
This works for the other methods, but here the cursor stays on a second line in the text area.  So when I try to parse the integer, it throws an exception. It works fine when I hit backspace and return to the first line but  I can't seem to find the problem. . .

Here is the code:
The method comes from a menu, so I have the actionPerformed part defined.  Then it passes to a KeyListener class defined below for the first input. Then it passes again to the same KeyListener class for the second input.

actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
action = e.getActionCommand();
/ Replace each instance of an element with a different value. This requires 2
// input elements from the user.  For each input value, it will wait fro the
// user to hit the "enter" key and then finish within the EnterListener class.
        else if(action.equals("replace(int, int)")) {
          message.setText("Enter the value to be replaced");
          input.setEditable(true);
        }
}

    private class EnterListener implements KeyListener {
      public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
        if(e.getKeyCode() == e.VK_ENTER)
// Complete the "replace(int, int)" commands.  If the value is found in the
// list, the program will pass to another set of commands below.
          if(action.equals("replace(int, int)")) {
            try {
              val = Integer.parseInt(input.getText());
              input.setText("");
              if(list.search(val) == false) {
                text.append("\nThat value was not found in the list or the list is empty.");
                message.setText(DEFAULT_MESSAGE);
              }
              else {
                input.setEditable(true);
                message.setText("Enter the new value:");
                action = "replace(int, int)2";
              }
            }
            catch(Exception error) {
              text.append("\nInput error - please retry the method.");
              input.setText("");
              input.setEditable(false);
              message.setText(DEFAULT_MESSAGE);
            }
          }
// Complete the above set of commands for the full replace(int, int) method.
          else if(action.equals("replace(int, int)2")) {
            try {
              val2 = Integer.parseInt(input.getText());
              list.replace(val, val2);
              text.append("\nAll instances of " + val + " were replaced with " + val2);
            }
            catch (Exception error) {
              text.append("\nInput error - please retry the method.");
            }
            input.setText("");
            input.setEditable(false);
            message.setText(DEFAULT_MESSAGE);
          }
