SUMMARY Recent konsole versions (20.12.2) are displaying pasted text inverse/highlighted without option to disable this "capability". STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Select text from konsole 2. Paste selection SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE-Plasma-Version: 5.21.1 KDE-Frameworks-Version: 5.79.0 Qt-Version: 5.15.2 Kernel-Version: 5.10.19_1 Art des Betriebssystems: 64-bit Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Older konsole versions (17.12.3 from Ubuntu 18.04) are showing pasted text without additional attributes, which is much more readable.
This is a bash 5.1 feature, it has nothing to do with konsole. See https://lwn.net/Articles/839212/
Confirmed. Having "set enable-bracketed-paste off" in inputrc avoids this annoyance. Sorry for the issue.
