HTML Copy sometimes inserts “Windows Terminal”; perhaps this is the TITLE element #7403

@williame-uah commented on GitHub (Apr 20, 2020):

Same issue. Besides "paste as plain text" what are other options? What setting could be leveraged to disable the extra "Windows Terminal" text when pasting to other apps?

@williame-uah What application are you seeing that in? We're not adding that text to what we put on the clipboard, so it must be coming from somewhere else.

Start a new email in gmail, firefox or chrome, paste into email body. Also happens in Hangouts.

And are you running any third-party software; potentially a corporate management solution, remote desktop software, clipboard manager?

This might be useful, I am using windows terminal preview to get to WSL. So copy from wsl cli using windows terminal to gmail(chrome or firefox) triggers it.

This is my home pc, personal, not corporate PC joined to Active Directory or anything. No AD policies in place. Only work app I have installed is Pulse Secure vpn. It has no posture enforcement/etc. configured to my knowledge. Can replicate with or without being connected to vpn.

Screenshot of both cases attached, ctrl-shift-v and ctrl-v results.

The "fancy" paste with background and formatting, I get. I use windows, linux and mac all regularly, paste with formatting retained is not terribly uncommon. What is uncommon is the "Windows terminal" line prefixing it. Any idea how to suppress that bit? Other than trying to always remember to backspace over it or paste as plain text?

Even more annoying in Google hangouts. My colleagues often ask "what is this?" . :-)

Again, as you say, html paste scenario. Hangouts widget spawned from browser window.

Screenshot attached.

Sorry, that question wasn't directed at you. I'm wondering if it's happening because we're filling out the "Title" of the rich text document that we put on the clipboard, and perhaps we shouldn't be doing that. Most applications seem to ignore it, but the ones that live in the browser don't seem to.

On mac(s), pasting from apple terminal doesn't prepend "Apple terminal" to the clipboard contents. Ditto for Putty on windows.

You guys have done a great thing creating windows terminal, please don't take this as complaining, just drawing attention to what I view as a possible defect so it can hopefully be fixed.

BTW, can also replicate, ruling out wsl, using windows terminal for powershell. Paste in gmail looks like:

Windows Terminal
PS C:\Users> date

In case this helps.

Can also replicate on homeadvisor website textarea element, not just gmail. I think your html title idea is likely the cause. Though I have no idea how to confirm.

Thanks for looking into this BTW.
