Public bug reported:

Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS
Release:        16.04

mate-terminal 1.12.1-1
libvte9       1:0.28.2-5ubuntu3

When copy-pasting into certain applications (such as MariaDB client), ~0
and ~1 are added around the pasted text, e.g.:

this is some copied text

becomes

0~this is some copied text1~

Some searching finds that this is due to a mishandling of bracketed
pastes. Apparently this was fixed in the VTE library. According to [1]:
"libvte-2.91-0 is good. libvte-2.90-9 is only good if the actual version
of that package is 0.36.2 or newer, and libvte9 is bad"

mate-terminal in Ubuntu 16.04 depends on libvte9. libvte-2.91-0 is also
available in Ubuntu 16.04. Just installing it doesn't fix the issue of
course; mate-terminal would need to be updated to use it.
