Copy-paste has weird letters

Thanks for filing an issue! Please answer the questions below so I can help you.

• iTerm2 version: 3.0.8, but this issue has been around since at least 3.0.5
• OS version: 10.11.6

Detailed steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Use iTerm for a while (it will eventually happen...)
2. Use copy-paste (Cmd C/V)

What happened:

Say I copy-paste "hello", it will become "0hello1". Restarting iTerm fixes things.

What should have happened:

It should always copy past correctly.

Looks like paste bracketing got left on. This can happen if an ssh session dies. Reset (cmd-r) will turn it back off.

I should detect this, just like focus reporting, and warn/turn it off.

Milestone changed to %Feature Complete 3.1

Yeah that sounds about right - SSH death could definitely be a cause. Thanks! (Although I have no idea what's paste bracketing lol)

It seems that this has reappeared in 3.1 beta6. Has anything changed?

@danqing Probably something changed in your configuration. I recommend installing shell integration. It will detect when this happens and make it easy to turn off.

Will try that. Thanks!
