Package: zsh
Version: 5.0.7-5
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
The next release of zsh (5.0.9) will introduce a behaviour change,
whereby pasted text will not be automatically executed, even if it
contains newlines (see upstream commit
98687fa1dec803f041cbb5417c146d8aa5129b53).
Upstream had concerns¹ that users might be confused by the behaviour
change, since 5.0.8 and earlier would simply execute a command-line that
was pasted into the terminal, if it ended with a newline.

One way to make it clear that the shell is waiting for input is to set
'zle_highlight=(paste:standout)' (see b4aff3bc52e15be87304183b3ae959668192b48c).
Please consider adding that setting to newuser.zshrc.recommended.
Patch attached.
Cheers,
Daniel
P.S. Discussed on #pkg-zsh with Carsten prior to sending.
