BTW, I've been able to reproduce this in gnome-terminal as well, so I don't think it's related to the terminal.

  • a description of the bug
If I paste large amounts of text into any readline-enabled program (psql, bash), parts of the text, particularly near the end of the text block, get truncated. It only seems to happen with blocks of text larger than a certain size (around 4kb or so).
  • a recipe for recreating the bug reliably
I've attached an example SQL file. If I copy the file's contents to the clipboard and paste it into the terminal in psql, the "group by" line of the SQL query gets truncated so that only the numbers 1,2,3,4,5,6 are pasted into the psql session. I expected the rest of the line to be included as well. If I paste the same text block in bash, I get the same result: parts of the lines in the text block get truncated. 

However, if I try to paste into VIM, the text is preserved completely. I only see this behavior in readline-enabled programs.

I'm using Konsole with screen size 158 columns x 58 rows.
 
  • a fix for the bug if you have one!
I haven't had time to look at the code yet, sorry.
