Unexpected control sequences in Electerm

[ankanbagchi]

Hi, I’m seeing unexpected control sequences, such as 2004h and 2004l, appearing directly in my terminal output in Electerm.

For example:
2004h[qa1|ankbag@influxdb-cav-00 ~]$ df -kh2004l 2004hFilesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on devtmpfs 4.0M 0 4.0M 0% /dev tmpfs 7.7G 0 7.7G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 3.1G 307M 2.8G 10% /run /dev/vda1 40G 5.9G 35G 15% / /dev/mapper/VG--00-LV--00 120G 107G 14G 89% /var/lib/influxdb [qa1|ankbag@influxdb-cav-00 ~]$ influx2004l

These look like bracketed paste mode control codes (\e[?2004h / \e[?2004l), but they’re being rendered as visible text instead of being interpreted correctly.

This makes the terminal output messy and hard to use. I’ve verified that the same commands work fine in other terminals, so this seems specific to Electerm.

Is bracketed paste mode or escape sequence handling broken or misconfigured for others, too?

Thanks.

Can you try in other server? To see if this happens all situation

[zxdong262]

No need, I can reproduce the issue

[ankanbagchi]

Great! I tried on several servers, and it was pretty much the same issue.
Glad you could reproduce the issue. I wasn't sure what was going wrong.

[zxdong262]

what is your keyword highlight setting, can you export it and paste it here?

[ankanbagchi]

Of course. Here it is. I hope a screenshot would suffice.

Would try fix it in next release, thank you for the feedback

[ankanbagchi]

Thank you very much! FYI, I am using these two commands on every server I SSH into to avoid seeing those sequences. It acts as a temporary workaround.

1. bind 'set enable-bracketed-paste off'
2. echo "set enable-bracketed-paste off" >> ~/.inputrc
