While trying to paste a git commit message after 'git commit -m "' using a middle click of my mouse into an uxterm, nothing happened anymore afterwards. The pasted text didn't display and nothing of what I typed showed up anymore... Until I pressed Ctrl-C. Then the text appeared without the prepended 'git commit -m "' on the commandline, plus a new prompt. This does not happen with "zsh -f" and it only happened so far if the pasted text contained an UTF-8 character, namely with "…" or "ä" so far. The position of the UTF-8 character inside the pasted string does neither matter (none of the characters in the pasted string will show up) nor does matter if I paste into the uxterm with middle click or Shift-Ins. The minimal way to reproduce seems the following: Start a "zsh -f" in an uxterm. Any other UTF-8 capable terminal likely does it, too. Run the following two commands: autoload -Uz bracketed-paste-magic zle -N bracketed-paste bracketed-paste-magic Then type "echo ", but don't press enter. Copy an UTF-8 "ä" from somewhere else with the mouse and paste it after "echo ". Nothing will happen. Type a few words. Nothing will happen either. Then press Ctrl-C. The UTF-8 character and the typed words will appear where the "echo " had been before and you will be back at a new, emptied prompt.
