Coincidentally, I had a lengthy conversation about nano and SSH over here: https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/discussions/2330
There's indeed a good chance that you're hitting this bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?66858

You can try this custom build of SSH I made if you're adventurous: https://github.com/PowerShell/Win32-OpenSSH/discussions/2330#discussioncomment-12417004
It doesn't solve the issue in nano but should make it less likely to occur if it's indeed the bracketed paste bug.

This is not a "stale" bot.

This is a "we offered a remediation and asked you for a timely reply and didn't get one" bot.

Did you get a chance to test out either the updated build of nano or the build of sshd with a larger buffer that Leonard pointed out?

Apologies.
I cannot reproduce this issue, but I am not sure what's changed - wonder if things were fixed by Windows Terminal 1.22.10731.0?
