xfce-terminal doesn't want to directly run middle click paste (after upgrade to Mint 21)

[ptankov]

Hello!

I just upgraded from Mint 20.3 XFCE to Mint 21 XFCE. All is well, but the xfce-terminal doesn't directly execute anymore the pasted commands (which contain Enter at the end). Previously, when I copied a command, or a sequence of commands from a text file or a website, and then pasted them (with middle mouse click) directly in the xfce-terminal, it simply ran them. Now, it marks the pasted text white and wants me to hit ENTER. What happened, how can I make it simply run the pasted text directly?

Did you review the xfce4-terminal guidance on custom actions? See: https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/thunar/custom-actions

I saw that page, but it's about thunar. My question is about xfce4-terminal.

This also happens in the latest version of xfce4-terminal in other distros.
It appears to be something Xfce changed.
I don't think there is an easy way to fix it. At least there no new terminal settings for it.

I have found the solution:

You have to turn off bracketed paste:

So add this to ~/.inputrc:

Code: Select all

set enable-bracketed-paste Off

restart Bash
