Vte that uses for GTK+ 2.0 based terminals also affected. XFCE termianl, Mate Terminal uses libvte9 and affected too. Both Trusty and Xenials still ships vte 0.28.2.
Note, upstream bug report contains patch based on 0.28.2, so it can be simple adopted for current package. -- 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/1506166 Title: Bracketed paste should be per-terminal [PATCH] Status in Gnome Virtual Terminal Emulator: Fix Released Status in vte package in Ubuntu: New Status in vte3 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in vte source package in Trusty: New Status in vte3 source package in Trusty: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Bracketed paste mode (\e[?2004h) should be per-terminal (as it is for xterm), not per-screen. This was fixed upstream for vte3 0.36.2, however Trusty ships vte3 0.34.2 and it didn't make it: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729533 This bug is causing annoying garbage appended to every paste in mc: https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3207 I have backported the fix to Trusty, tested it in my PPA and would appreciate if someone could sponsor an upload in updates, since Trusty is LTS after all. [Test Case] Select some text ("test") and copy it into the clipboard buffer. After that, install mc if you don't have it already and start it: sudo apt-get install mc mc Press CTRL+O to swap the panels, right click with the mouse button and pick "Paste" from the context menu. You will see that "~0test~1" is pasted into the console instead of "test" as it should be. For more details, see the bug report on mc bug tracker referenced above. [Regression Potential] The patch is taken from the vte3 bug tracker; it has been in trunk for more than a year and is contained in vte3 0.36.2+ releases. Nobody has reported any problems caused by this change so far...
