I use Xfce on Fedora 36. When using the shell (xfce4-terminal), I used to be able to double click on text in one shell window and middle click on another shell window to paste the command. If I am logged into a bunch of kvm instances, for instance, I could double click on yum -y update on one system and then paste it into the others.
Now, when I paste, even if I paste a newline at the end, the command is not run in the other shell windows unless I hit [enter]. This is kind of a pain, and I can't figure out how to enable pasting a command with a newline to actually process that newline.
I've dug through the settings for the terminal (edit/preferences) and I can't see anything that I can set to make this work. Anyone got a pointer?
Thanks! Thomas
Here's a video of what I mean, in case I'm not making myself clear:

I reached out to one of the xfce4 developers and he pointed me to this thread:
https://gitlab.xfce.org/apps/xfce4-terminal/-/issues/114
Short answer is, adding "set enable-bracketed-paste off" to ~/.inputrc fixed the behavior.
Hope this is helpful to someone else! Thomas
