I'm absolutely sure it wouldn't. (It has a preliminary vte3 version, with many remaining bugs, but you might want to give that a try.) Someone might create an unofficial repo for this package, though. > The easiest for me would be to get the patch above pushed into VTE 2 in the > repo. You say that VTE 2 is unmaintained.

You'd need to find someone in the Ubuntu team willing to patch vte2 and backport it to trusty. I hardly see any chance for this to happen, there are plenty of way more serious bugs going unnoticed/unfixed by Ubuntu developers. Maybe someone in the community would be happy to bring up a separate repository containing this bugfix, you could try to ask for help on various Ubuntu forums. That's why I recommended the shell prompt hack, that's probably your best bet now. (A note about the abbreviation you use: Terminator (the vte2-based app) as far as I know doesn't have the word "Gnome" in its name, yet you refer to it as Gnome Terminator, abbreviated with GT, which is damn easy to be confused with the vte3-based standard Gnome Terminal. To avoid confusion, I recommend to spell out "Terminator" or "Gnome Terminal" in this ticket.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, 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 Status in Terminator: New Status in “vte” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Gnome terminator does not support bracketed paste mode introduced by xterm to detect between typed-in text and text that is copy-pasted. Due to this, copy-pasting text in terminator adds some garbage character before and after pasted text. This bug occurs on latest version (from bzr). Example: my_pasted_text becomes 0~my_paster_text1~ This occurs when using Terminator along with Midnight Commander. This is a well known bug that has been fixed already in Gnome Terminal. Apparently the bug has been fixed in VTE, and as a result on Gnome Terminal. See references below for details. To trigger the bug, see sequence below, copied from referenced bug report: 1) start gnome-terminal 2) start mc in that terminal 3) enter the Ctrl-o subshell 4) maximise the terminal (in terminator, this is same as doing for instance Ctrl-Z to maximize current sub-window) 5) leave the Ctrl-o subshell (i.e. return to the dir/file list) 6) copy some text (e.g. some "filename") 7) return back to the Ctrl-o subshell 8) paste the text References: - xterm bracketed paste mode http://invisible-island.net/xterm/ctlseqs/ctlseqs.html#Bracketed%20Paste%20Mode - original bug report on Midnight Commander http://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3207 - Bug fix and patch on VTE https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729533 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1350334/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
