Originally created by @wdolek on GitHub (Dec 2, 2019).

When pasting text from terminal, text I'm copying does not contain correct line endings - I simply get single line of content. I tried with WSL, Git Bash and PowerShell.

I have found plenty of issues related to copy-pasting - either closed as resolved (but this issue is still present) or not related to missing line ends (rather adding more line ends).

Environment


Platform ServicePack Version      VersionString
-------- ----------- -------      -------------
Win32NT             10.0.18363.0 Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.18363.0

Windows Terminal (Preview)
Version: 0.7.3291.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Having profiles:
        {
            "guid": "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001}",
            "name" : "Bash",
            "commandline" : "\"%PROGRAMFILES%\\git\\usr\\bin\\bash.exe\" -i -l",
            "hidden": false,
            "acrylicOpacity": 0.8,
            "fontFace": "Fira Code",
            "fontSize": 10,
            "padding": "4, 4, 4, 4",
            "useAcrylic": true,
            "closeOnExit" : true,
            "icon" : "%PROGRAMFILES%\\Git\\mingw64\\share\\git\\git-for-windows.ico",
            "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%"
        },
        {
            "guid": "{2c4de342-38b7-51cf-b940-2309a097f518}",
            "hidden": false,
            "name": "Ubuntu",
            "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl",
            "acrylicOpacity": 0.8,
            "fontFace": "Fira Code",
            "fontSize": 10,
            "padding": "4, 4, 4, 4",
            "useAcrylic": true
        },
        {
            "guid": "{61c54bbd-c2c6-5271-96e7-009a87ff44bf}",
            "name": "Windows PowerShell",
            "commandline": "powershell.exe",
            "hidden": false,
            "fontFace": "Fira Code",
            "fontSize": 10,
            "padding": "4, 4, 4, 4"
        },
  1. ... and keybindings:
    "keybindings": [
        { "command": "copy", "keys": ["ctrl+insert"] },
        { "command": "paste", "keys": ["shift+insert"] }
    ]
  1. Open either WSL, Git Bash or PS terminal
  2. Run:
    Git Bash/WSL: curl -v -X GET https://www.example.com/
    PS: (curl -v http://www.example.com/).RawContent
  3. Select output, copy to clipboard (Ctrl+Insert)
  4. Open notepad.exe / code / sublime / ... (text editor of your choice)
  5. Paste from clipboard (Shift+Insert)

Expected behavior

Text copied from clipboard is well formatted, line endings respected:

curl -v -X GET https://www.example.com/
Note: Unnecessary use of -X or --request, GET is already inferred.

Actual behavior

Single line pasted:
