Gnome-terminal (actually vte) has fixed this issue and this fix will appear in Utopic. If Terminator finally updated their code to Gtk3 (which apparently nobody is working on), it would also automatically get the fix.
In my experiences, it's very hard to get Ubuntu folks pay attention to bugs like this. Unless there's a critical bug (and, unfortunately, often even if it is a critical one), the way to get it fixed in Ubuntu is to fix mainstream and wait for the distro to catch up. > My feeling is that Trusty LTS is a nice release, but it is still unpolished because of bugs like this one. Only vte alone has ~170 open bugs upstream (some of them are dups or invalid or feature requests, but still), and plenty more that were fixed recently and are missing from legacy vte (gtk2) that you're using. This is one component of the thousands that are shipped by Ubuntu. This pasting bug might be your pet peeve, but is probably of very low priority for others. > occurs very frequently for anyone using midnight commander (and whatever console app enabling bracketed mode I guess) No, no. The bug is related to Midnight Commander constantly switching back and forth between the normal and the alternate screens (the one where its panels are shown and has no scrollbar) and is triggered by a special sequence of actions. If, for one, you don't use Ctrl+O, you won't face the bug while bracketed paste still works correctly in the editor. In other apps, e.g. vim, you can use bracketed pasting, probably without ever facing the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to vte in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350334 Title: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1350334/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
