It's a bash-5.1 feature.
| Bash-5.1 release available: | The most visible new feature is in Readline: the addition of `faces', which
highlights the text between the point and mark (the region, so this is also
called the 'active region'). This was added to show visibly the text
inserted by bracketed paste, and also marks the text found by incremental
and non-incremental history searches. Faces are currently tied to
bracketed paste and are enabled and disabled along with bracketed paste
mode. Bracketed paste mode is enabled by default. |
| man bash: | enable-bracketed-paste (On)
When set to On, readline will configure the terminal in a way
that will enable it to insert each paste into the editing buffer
as a single string of characters, instead of treating each char‐
acter as if it had been read from the keyboard. This can pre‐
vent pasted characters from being interpreted as editing com‐
mands. |

It's because of new readline-8.1 which made this default, if want it off: | Code: | | echo set enable-bracketed-paste off >> ~/.inputrc |
Will then be disabled on new shells. |

Thanks a lot guys....
You are super.
That did it for me.
Very unfortunate and stupid choice of the developers to include such a disgusting feature as a default.
Shame on them.
Thanks Again

| This is particularly bad since you probably actually want bracketed-paste mode enabled. It's usually a good thing. However, the graphical artifacts that are now enabled with it may not be a good thing. |

Bracketed paste is pretty useful if you accidentally middle-click paste some random text.
| Code: | me@host ~ $ random
multiline
text^C
me@host ~ $ bind "set enable-bracketed-paste off"
me@host ~ $ random
bash: random: command not found
me@host ~ $ multiline
bash: multiline: command not found
me@host ~ $ text |
It doesn't try to execute it. |
