Re: [Bug-readline] Pasting large amounts of text into readline-enabled programs truncates parts of the lines of the text being pasted

[Edmar Wiggers]

Hi,

I've got the same problem here and was also wondering if anyone was
looking into it.

Problem reproduced connecting from Windows Putty 0.61 (ssh) into:
- Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso (64bit)
- Fedora-15-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso (64bit)
- Fedora-16-i686-Live-KDE.iso (32bit)
- Fedora-16-x86_64-Live-KDE.iso (64bit)
- Gentoo Linux 64bit, kernels 2.6.32.59, 2.6.35.11, 2.6.38.8,
3.0.17-gentoo-r2, 3.1.10-gentoo-r1, 3.2.1-gentoo-r2, and 3.3.5-gentoo
- (all running under VirtualBox 4.1.16 in Windows 7 64bit host,
Intel Core i3-2310M CPU)

My Fedora 14 32bit systems do not reproduce the bug (kernel 2.6.35.11,
running under VirtualBox 4.0.6 on Windows XP 32bit host, Intel Core2
Duo E7500 CPU).

I wonder if the bug is related to Intel Core i3/5/7 CPUs
architecture/optimization.

For now, I've decided to bypass the bug by switching from bash to zsh
and disabling readline as system-wide as possible (Gentoo). But it
would be much better if this bug was solved...

Cheers,
