I'm also affected by this bug. I've seen that in lxterminal and
xfce4-terminal. Will it be fixed in Trusty?

Title:
  copy/paste garbage while using mc, due to lack of support of bracketed
  paste mode

Status in Terminator:
  New
Status in “vte” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Gnome terminator does not support bracketed paste mode introduced by
  xterm to detect between typed-in text and text that is copy-pasted.

  Due to this, copy-pasting text in terminator adds some garbage
  character before and after pasted text.

  This bug occurs on latest version (from bzr).

  Example:

     my_pasted_text

  becomes

    0~my_paster_text1~

  This occurs when using Terminator along with Midnight Commander.

  This is a well known bug that has been fixed already in Gnome Terminal.
  Apparently the bug has been fixed in VTE, and as a result on Gnome Terminal.
  See references below for details.

  To trigger the bug, see sequence below, copied from referenced bug
  report:

  1) start gnome-terminal
  2) start mc in that terminal
  3) enter the Ctrl-o subshell
  4) maximise the terminal (in terminator, this is same as doing for instance Ctrl-Z to maximize current sub-window)
  5) leave the Ctrl-o subshell (i.e. return to the dir/file list)
  6) copy some text (e.g. some "filename")
  7) return back to the Ctrl-o subshell
  8) paste the text
