Comment (by siarzhuk):
JFYI: That looks like the concurrency problem in our pty
implementation:[[BR]]
a) '''Selecting the the text''' in terminal '''automatically copy the
selection into the clipboard''';[[BR]]
b) Pressing either '''middle or right button inserts''' current text
'''from the clipboard into the Terminal''';[[BR]]
c) Terminal writes all those strings at once - and it looks like the app
is blocked because of some reasons the text doesn't displayed on the
screen;[[BR]]
d) Anyway at some time the TermParse::PtyReader become "Bad file
descriptor" error on the next attempt to read and is forced to exit with
NotifyQuit() call.
From the other side: What sense to paste those thousands of lines into the
Terminal? Note that they are interpreted as usual CLI commands and shell
attempts to run them immediately and produce error messages. May be
pasting should be blocked for any multilined contents?
