Depends on where he's pasting.  Bracketed paste doesn't actually stop
middle-click pastes from working in bash in a terminal; it just makes
it look weird, and requires a confirming Enter keypress if you paste
commands with newlines in them.

José, *where* are you trying to paste, that isn't working?  At a bash
prompt?  Inside an editor running in a terminal?  Inside an editor
that is a GUI program?  Inside some other GUI program like a web
browser?

vim for example now has a default system-wide vimrc configuration that
does funky things with the mouse, and interferes with traditional
middle-click pasting.  If you're having this issue in vim, you can
work around it by doing either of these two things:

1) Have a personal ~/.vimrc file that overrides the system default.

2) Hold Shift while clicking to paste.

See <https://wiki.debian.org/NewInStretch#Changes> for more on that
change.
