Originally created by @martinowren on GitHub (Jan 5, 2020).

Originally assigned to: @leonMSFT on GitHub.

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.535
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.7.3451.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the program
  2. Open a new Ubuntu terminal tab
  3. Go to another piece of software (Can be anything like a browser, notepad etc) and copy a string.
  4. Paste into the new terminal tab.

Expected behavior

The string would be pasted into the terminal tab instantly

Actual behavior

The is either a delay of 1-4s before the string gets pasted into the terminal or it doesnt get pasted at all.

Other comments

I have reproduced this bug on a self built computer, surface book 2 and a surface laptop 3.

I certainly wouldn't expect that - is there anything else running on your system that might be trying to manage the clipboard? I honestly have no idea how to debug this without a local repro, so any help you could give would be helpful.

There is nothing locally managing the clipboard. What can I do to help you reproduce the bug 🙌

I could reproduce this bug yesterday, but for some reason now I can't. Maybe it's worth noting I also use surface book 2.

I honestly have no idea how we'd be able to repro this on my end 😟 Maybe try repro'ing with task manager open. Is there anything that spikes in CPU usage when you paste into the Terminal?

Also, cc'ing @DHowett-MSFT, maybe we could get someone from the clipboard team to help us get some diagnostics here

Ah I think I got a repro. Try this -

  1. Open a new Ubuntu terminal tab
  2. Go to another piece of software (Can be anything like a browser, notepad etc) and copy a string.
  3. Close WT and reopen a new Ubuntu tab
  4. Paste into the new terminal tab.
    Note it only happens when directly pasting into Ubuntu. If I paste to cmd/PS first, everything is normal.
    I don't have a clipboard manager other than the built-in clipboard history. I tried to turn the clipboard history off and it got better, but sometimes I could still see the bug.

I'm so sorry I was wrong...😥 It now again can't be reproduced consistently on my end...
But I indeed got a GIF where I was able to repro it several times. Meanwhile, I found nothing noticeable in CPU usage. Hope it could help.
(It's hard to get a long GIF smaller than 10MB)

This is exactly the same issue I have.

We're guessing this is a /dup of #3609 -- right-clicking doesn't seem to focus the terminal itself... but left-clicking will. If you manage to repro this, and then left-click then right-click, does it work?

It would still not paste into the terminal.
