Hi, Recently, I have received feedback from fellow forum members that what I have pasted looks incorrect when viewed on the web forum. [image] Strange xterm initial output General Maybe it doesn’t show up over email? Both times you’ve printed your PS1=..., on Discourse i…

It’s also incorrect in generated emails. I dont think it is new and I have commented on it in the past. I dont know if it only affects users who post via email: it has affected me. It should be absolutely prohibited for discourse to mess with text inside code fences, and this would be a major …

It looks as if this may be an artifact from Qubes copy/paste - if I copy a pipe with standard inter qube copy/paste it is not pasted as a pipe - sanitised? @qubist - check to see what you actually posted. I never presume to speak for the Qubes team. When I comment in the Forum I speak for mysel…

Does it depend on the terminal in use and also, how the clipboard is populated? (eg Xterm, selectToClipboard? vi ? ). Many variables. I never presume to speak for the Qubes team. When I comment in the Forum I speak for myself.

@unman Does it depend on the terminal in use and also, how the clipboard is populated? (eg Xterm, selectToClipboard? vi ? ). I don’t think so. Otherwise the message in the mail client and in susepaste would be messed up to, which is not the case. Test: > hello Should read as greater than hel…

OK, confirmed: The forum converts leading vertical line to ‘>’, with or without empty space before it.

More testing: eb4f84ef043db492c7d102bf7e357ee033[foo Should read as backslash 033, left square bracket and ‘foo’.

The second test reveals that the forum translates backslash into ‘eb4f84ef043db492c7d102bf7e357ee’. Both tests were typed directly, nothing was pasted. That excludes Qubes clipboard.

Also looking at my older posts containing bash source code, I don’t see such issue.
