I'm getting bitten by this bug on my workstation. I also tried it from within a fresh user account: same issue there, so it's not a user configuration mistake. From a user perspective, wontfix is not a particularly satisfying conclusion. I noticed my laptop does not have the issue, but hasn't been updated in a while. So I (painstakingly) upgraded packages piecemeal, and observed Octave GUI's behaviour as I did... The culprit is libreadline8 (and/or readline-common). Octave GUI has no complaints with the prior version 8.0-4, but after upgrading to version 8.1~rc3-1, Octave GUI now complains about "undecodable token: \001b(hex)[? 2004h" and messes-up the command interface, as per the original report. So, does libreadline8 cause this "bracketed paste mode" to be enabled by default, now? Or perhaps something else is going on - like, perhaps /etc/ inputrc should have been updated along with readline-common, in which case we're actually getting bitten by bug #504793? Cheers, Brendon
