I wonder if that is related to terminal ANSI colour escape codes,
which do include characters of square brackets, digits and
semicolon chars.

I wonder if Peter is cutting and pasting that information from a
coloured terminal window, and the ANSI colour code is not correctly
discarded and so is corrupting his paste.

I got the impression this might be part of his writing process from
this message:
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2019/07/msg01376.html

I wonder if those characters are visible to Peter before
and/or after the paste?

Have a wonder-full day :)
