Why is this statement being repeated?

Question

import java.util.Scanner;
class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("Blahdy blah: " + "blah.");
        sc.next();
}Output:
Blahdy blah: blah.Blahdy blah: blah.
I've found that removing the colon fixes this, but could someone please inform me as to why this happens?
Thank you.

Ah, nothing changes. I was getting this problem while I was using Scanner, so I expected that the use of it triggered something, but it does not!
The following code does the same when executed:
class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Apparently anything after the colon that is not a
        // space or blank character will cause this statement to repeat in NB.
        System.out.print("Blahdy blah: a");
}This does not happen when using println, just thought I might add that.
