Sorry that I edited the original bug report, but I think it was better to make it more informative, and not to grab these improvements of the bug description among the comments. Read please, re-read please the new version of the bug report.
** Description changed: + Quiete a few experients shows, that bash misinterprets the newline- + character coming from mouse paste, while in the same terminals the emacs + or vim or alpine and many other character oriented programs interprest + correctly. + + The problem is specific to the situation when we are at a bash prompt of + a new version of bash we got in Ubuntu 21.04. As soon as I invoke an ssh + session, the interpretation of the newline-caharcter becomes correct, + since the remote older bash interprets correctly. + + >>> Newline bug of first kind: + If there is a complete bash command with terminating newline in the cut and paste buffer, and it is pasted into a gnome-terminal, then the command is *not* executed, the newline is ignored by the terminal. - But in return this bug, the pasted command is showed in reverse - coloring, + >>> Newline bug of second kind: - what is very disturbing when a command is not executed, but decorated in - a funny way instead. + If I prepare a bash command say - This is new in 21.04, the dropping commands into a gnome-terminal worked - fine in 20.10, ... + cp target-directory - ... and in the last 27 years of my linux usage. + and I collect into the paste buffer "source-file newline-character" + + and I drop it IN BETWEEN the prepared "cp" and "target-directory" + + then the result is wrong: + + instead of interpreting the newline-character as "push enter" + + the command is broken into the followint 2 lines: + + cp source-file + + target-directory + + and I get an error message about missing target specification. + + cp: missing destination file operand after 'source-file' + Try 'cp --help' for more information. + bash: target-directory: Is a directory + + I found better to make this original bug descripton more informative. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1925823 Title: losts or misinterprets the newline character coming from mouse paste To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bash/+bug/1925823/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
