Hi, One year ago this bug was reported, but nothing seems to have happened: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2012-06/msg00006.html
To recap: Copying and pasting text into a readline enabled program in linux causes it to lose some parts of the input, on MacOSX apparently (I don't have access to one to test this myself), the behavior is that some characters are repeated. There was one mention in the thread to test readline6.2 patch 3. I applied that patch but there was no change. This is still broken. I also tested this with readline 6.1 and 6.0 and got the same behavior, so it doesn't seem to be something related to 6.2 specifically. In the thread it was mentioned that it could be a kernel issue, since the behavior is different in Mac and Linux. I have reproduced this issue with kernel 3.5. It's been a whole year, many kernels have come and gone and the issue is still there. If this is a kernel issue, the kernel developers don't seem to have noticed. The original report contains a small C program for easy testing of the issue. It's also easy to test it with bash, although at least in the Debian case it implies recompiling the whole bash, since it uses an embedded copy of readline. I'd be happy to test any other possible patches to see this issue fixed. None of those available on http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/readline.git/ fix it. -- Regards, Marga _______________________________________________ Bug-readline mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-readline
