Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.19042.685
Windows Terminal version: 1.4.3243.0
I'm using an elan touchpad with microsoft precision driver.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Copy some text.
  2. Right click to paste.

Expected behavior

Send clipboard entry to input.

Actual behavior

When I use the right button of mouse, everything is ok.
But when I click by two fingers on the touchpad, the text is not pasted.
n consecutive two-finger clicks result in n-1 pasted text.
n consecutive two finger clicks preceded by an ESC key or left/middle/right button click on the mouse or a scroll or any action on the toupad results in n pasted text.
But in other programs the text is pasted at any two-finger click.

Additional information:
If use a clipboard manager called ditto, choose a clipboard entry and press enter, the text is not pasted either, whereas double click works.
In legacy console host, the text if pasted immediately if not running in administrator mode, but in windows terminal, an extra ctrl+v is always needed.
So I think the problem has nothing along with the touchpad driver.

That's certainly suspicious - I wasn't aware of many other applications that used right-click/two-finger-click as a paste. Out of curiosity, which applications are you pasting into where a two finger click paste works correctly?

Does this repro without Ditto installed/enabled?

Do you have any sort of IME software installed/enabled?

I just intended to mention the traditional conhost.

Yes.

I have IMEs, but the problem holds when the IME is deactivated.
When the IME is enabled, there are random cases when I need three or more two finger clicks.

Sorry to let this one linger. Are you still experiencing this? Also, are you using any other assistive input software?

Thanks a lot for keeping the problem in mind after a year, I haven't been experiencing it since a rather early fix. Sorry to not close the issue in time
