Issue pasting curly brackets

[lminiero]

Hi,

not sure if this has been mentioned already, but I couldn't find any related issue or discussion on this, so I thought I'd open one here.

Apparently, when pasting (CTRL+V) something that contains curly brackets, the operation fails. Specifically, assuming you have more than one terminal open and try to paste something for all of them, if the text contains a curly bracket only one of the terminals will get the text up until the character before the bracket, and nothing will show up on the other ones.

Easy enough to replicate in my case, as all I need to do is paste something simple, e.g.:

hi{

and I'll see hi on one and nothing on the others. Tried with the version available in my Fedora 28 repo (4.13.2), I'll have to check if more recent versions are available as soon as I can upgrade it.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can provide to help figure out what's wrong.

I experience the same thing; Curly braces disappear completely. Also, "$"-signs become "¼". Strange paste bug.

Hmm... I am able to paste echo ${USERNAME} and get the expected result. What terminal are you using and what is your $LANG set to? It seems that something is getting mapped from one character set to another during the paste.

I'm also affected by this old bug on non-english locales (LANG=en_GB.utf8, the rest is cs_CZ.UTF-8). And also copy pasting $ is problematic:

$keysym in sub get_keycode_state($) in Window/Tk.pm: $keysym: 'dollar'. Shell I report that in separate ticket (IMHO the same issue)?

Just tested again and if I try to paste hi{ I still only get hi. The terminal cssh starts is xterm, and LANG is set to en_GB.utf8 (even though I have an Italian keyboard). This is on Fedora 31, which ships a 4.14.1 version of cssh.

Got similar Errors by pasting: apt install dpkg --get-selections | grep -oP 'linux-image[a-z-]+amd64' && uname -a && apt autoremove && apt clean

Seems to be related to the keyboard map that is configured on clusterssh start and independent of the locale. If I use setxkbmap de neo and then start clusterssh, characters like : or / are replaced by other characters. If I change the keyboard map after starting clusterssh (e.g. setxkbmap de), it gets even crazier :-) if I have "uiae" in my clipboard, it pastes "asdf" (which are actually the same keys, but I would have expected it to paste "uiae" nontheless).

[pevik]

Yes, it's really based on keyboard map. I thought also locale is somehow affected, but probably it's not. It'd be great to solve this bug.

[JackThird]

same here, keyboard layout Italian, tests made:
paste @ -> nothing
paste ` -> ¬

This happen only when I paste it in the cssh command window.

Please, could you explain us when it will be fixed or a possible workaround?

I think this is the same bug as #38
