Pasting inside a program inside zellij sometimes adds control-characters

[jovandeginste]

When pasting inside a program inside zellij, I (sometimes) get extra ANSI(?) control characters surrounding the pasted text.

Seen with ao. cat, hexdump, and annoyingly: pinentry-curses... (to unlock my GPG key)

Not with: vim, neovim, etc.

Basic information

zellij --version: zellij 0.20.0, default configuration
tput lines: 57
tput cols: 118
uname -av or ver(Windows): Linux xyz 4.18.0-305.25.1.el8_4.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Nov 2 10:34:25 EDT 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

List of programs you interact with as, PROGRAM --version:

• cat (GNU coreutils) 8.30

Further information

Example, after copying somestring to my clipboard, using shift+insert to paste it:

➤ echo somestring
somestring
➤ cat
^[[200~somestring^[[201~
somestring

FWIW, I see the same behaviour with different terminal emulators (gnome-terminal, tilix)

Hey, sorry about the experience! This was a regression that was caused by me sleep coding. It should be fixed in 0.20.1. I'm closing this issue for now, let me know if it persists.

Don't sweat it, I'm still test driving this nice tool!

still exists in v0.21.0 on MacOS Monterey, when I paste something into zellij terminal

@hackerchai - this is fixed in main but we haven't released a version yet. I plan to release one tomorrow.

Actually, this specifically was a different issue, but there was a similar issue that's fixed in main and not released yet :D I'm guessing that's the one you're referring to. If you'd like to compile from main and give it a try to be sure that'd be cool, otherwise try and wait for the release and see then. If somehow this frankenstein issue comes back again, we'll sort it out.
