[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...
