Ok, thanks for the info. Sorry for the confusion. I meant indeed Terminator. I got used to say gnome-terminator because that was the original name of Tenshu's ppa. But the real package name is "Terminator". But note that the bug is also present in "Gnome Terminal" (as per #3 above). Just tried again now, and the bug is there (although I have the patched vte for GTK2, but indeed this has no effect since Gnome Terminal uses libvte-2.90-9, which GTK+ 3.0). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350334 Title: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1350334/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

You'd need to find someone in the Ubuntu team willing to patch vte2 and backport it to trusty. I hardly see any chance for this to happen, there are plenty of way more serious bugs going unnoticed/unfixed by Ubuntu developers. Maybe someone in the community would be happy to bring up a separate repository containing this bugfix, you could try to ask for help on various Ubuntu forums. That's why I recommended the shell prompt hack, that's probably your best bet now. (A note about the abbreviation you use: Terminator (the vte2-based app) as far as I know doesn't have the word "Gnome" in its name, yet you refer to it as Gnome Terminator, abbreviated with GT, which is damn easy to be confused with the vte3-based standard Gnome Terminal.

[Bug 1350334] Re: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode
I would say *terrifying* work around ;-) Otherwise, good tip. But to me, the point is that the bug is an annoyance for all systems I touch. Of course, this ^O thing (or similar) is part of my own process, so not everybody is concerned, but every time I come to a new system, I get it, I have to patch it (or work around it), when it would be much simpler to get it fixed in the repo. Now, I still agree that your proposal about fixing the bug where it belongs (i.e. migrate GT to use the new VTE) is the best. But honestly, I had a quick look, and although I have some dev skills, this is much beyond me for now. Too many kids at home, not enough time. Also, I'm not sure that even if GT would be migrated to VTE 3, that it would be pushed to 14.04. The easiest for me would be to get the patch above pushed into VTE 2 in the repo. You say that VTE 2 is unmaintained. But is there any chance still we can get the patch pushed to the report? What is the process to get this done?

[Bug 1350334] Re: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode
To everyone suffering from this bug: You could maybe - as a terrible workaround - disable "bracketed paste mode" from your shell prompt. In case of bash, you might want to alter your PS1 to contain $'... \[\e[?2004l\] ...' or set PROMPT_COMMAND to echo $'\e[?2004l'. When pressing ^O to return to the subshell in mc, you might need to press Enter once for the prompt to get printed, but then at least you can copy without those extra character. Also, probably you won't see bracketed paste's advantages when copying text into mc's built-in editor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350334 Title: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1350334/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1350334] Re: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode
Gnome-terminal (actually vte) has fixed this issue and this fix will appear in Utopic. If Terminator finally updated their code to Gtk3 (which apparently nobody is working on), it would also automatically get the fix. In my experiences, it's very hard to get Ubuntu folks pay attention to bugs like this. Unless there's a critical bug (and, unfortunately, often even if it is a critical one), the way to get it fixed in Ubuntu is to fix mainstream and wait for the distro to catch up. > My feeling is that Trusty LTS is a nice release, but it is still unpolished because of bugs like this one. Only vte alone has ~170 open bugs upstream (some of them are dups or invalid or feature requests, but still), and plenty more that were fixed recently and are missing from legacy vte (gtk2) that you're using. This is one component of the thousands that are shipped by Ubuntu. This pasting bug might be your pet peeve, but is probably of very low priority for others. > occurs very frequently for anyone using midnight commander (and whatever console app enabling bracketed mode I guess) No, no. The bug is related to Midnight Commander constantly switching back and forth between the normal and the alternate screens (the one where its panels are shown and has no scrollbar) and is triggered by a special sequence of actions. If, for one, you don't use Ctrl+O, you won't face the bug while bracketed paste still works correctly in the editor. In other apps, e.g. vim, you can use bracketed pasting, probably without ever facing the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350334 Title: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1350334/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1350334] Re: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode
I understand the logic behind your comment, but on the other hand the patch is a very simple one and it fixes a really annoying bug that occurs very frequently for anyone using midnight commander (and whatever console app enabling bracketed mode I guess). If I see the bug you referred to, it has been filed in 2012, and apparently it's a long way to go before release. Note that the bracketed mode bug also occurs in Gnome Terminal. Will it be fixed there as well if bug 1030562 is fixed? At least the patch attached here fixes it for Gnome Terminal as well. My feeling is that Trusty LTS is a nice release, but it is still unpolished because of bugs like this one. My hope is that these small annoyances get fixed rapidly.

[Bug 1350334] Re: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode
The mentioned terminals do support bracketed paste mode - but do it incorrectly. If they didn't support it all, you wouldn't see the bug. The *real* problem here is Terminator using a 3 year old unmaintained version of vte (bug 1030562). The bracketed paste issue is just a manifestation of this core problem. Vte received at least a hundred bugfixes since then (including data corruptions, crashes etc.), the bracketed paste mode fix not being anywhere near the most important ones. IMO it doesn't make too much sense to backport this single patch, it's a very bad use of developers' time. Instead, Terminator, Xfce4-terminal and any other Gtk2 terminal apps should be ported to Gtk3/vte3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1350334 Title: copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed paste mode To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/1350334/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
