hi
i have two problems after upgrading to fedora34: * copy/paste in xterm/terminator now paints the copied text with reversed colors. in fedora 33 it was clear that in my black on white terminal marked text is colored white with black background. that part works the same in f34. pasting is different now. pasted text was colored like typed text, in fedora34 it is now colored the same as marked text. quite annoying, at least for me.
* i have two accounts (usera and userb). normaly i use usera and this is my main account which i use to log into fedora. userb is just used for "jailing" firefox away from my normal user. works in fedora 34, but i no longer have sound from that firefox. i think the reason might be pipewire. is pipewire capable to send one users sounds to another users devices on the same machine?
any suggestions anyone?
thanks josef

Just to be clear, are you using Gnome or some other DE? Yes, Gnome is the default, but not everybody uses it and assuming that they do can cause considerable confusion.

thanks to sum that up: this new feature can be switched off via editing ~/.inputrc one needs to add "set enable-bracketed-paste off"

this might have unwanted side-effects, so please read the docs and decide yourself.

Glad to see it's not just me who hates this highlighting.

+1 I was learning to live with it since I was too lazy to research the annoyance.
I also appreciate the link supplied by josef. Not something I think about often. I mean Readline, not appreciation for others who supply useful information. :-)

It's literally a readline feature, not a bug, so that's appropriate. However, I do think we could have some documentation explaining it.

i'm using xfce, though it happens with gnome, too. the solution - as mathhew miller brought to my attention - is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1954366
or
disabling "enable-bracketed-paste" by adding in ~/.inputrc the following line: set enable-bracketed-paste off

If you want to add this and _not_ disable the other settings which come from the system-wide /etc/inputrc, add this to your ~/.inputrc as well:
# include system-wide inputrc $include /etc/inputrc
You can do that all at once via:
$ cat >~/.inputrc <<\EOF # include system-wide inputrc $include /etc/inputrc
# disable bracketed-paste # https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1954366 set enable-bracketed-paste off EOF
Keep in mind that disabling bracketed paste does bring a bit of risk if you paste text from an external application like a browser into your terminal. Some links and discussion are in this vte bug report:

Thanks, that seems to work. I'm not concerned about the possible risks.
