Inconsistent line breaks when pasting

[lug-gh]

What Happened?

For some time now, I can't say exactly how long, maybe 2 months, I've noticed that when pasting from the clipboard, the line breaks are often lost, but this is not consistent either, but it drives me crazy.

Steps to Reproduce

For example, I open a file with nano and insert the following:

In nano it looks like this:

Expected Behavior

The line breaks should be retained. If I paste the same clipboard into VS Code, for example, everything looks great:

OS Version

7.x (Horus)

Session Type

Classic Session (X11, This is the default)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Log Output

Hardware Info

Thank you for the report.

When pasting into nano you should use Control + U as indicated by the nano UI. If you use the Terminal shortcut then the formatting is incorrect presumably to do with how nano handles the input stream. The Terminal shortcut is intended for pasting into the bash shell when no foreground process is running (in which case each line is treated as a separate command). I do not think anything has recently changed in Terminal which would affect this so it may be due to a change in nano.

However I noticed that the Terminal context menu shows even when nano is running. I think this menu should be disabled when a foreground process is running.
