[Robie Basak <1506166@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you for the patch and sorry for the delay. We're making an effort
to clear out languishing items in the sponsorship queue today.

vte needs fixing in Zesty before we can fix it in older releases. Please
see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Procedure

We also need a working test case for the vte (as opposed to vte3) case.

But I'm trying to get an initial response to as many outstanding
requests today as I can, so I'll move on for now. Please try to follow
the SRU procedure if you can, provide a test case for this fix, provide
debdiffs for all of Zesty, Yakkety, Xenial and if you wish Trusty, and
then resubscribe ~ubuntu-sponsors to the bug when done.

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Bracketed paste mode (\e[?2004h) should be per-terminal (as it is for
  xterm), not per-screen. This was fixed upstream for vte3 0.36.2,
  however Trusty ships vte3 0.34.2 and it didn't make it:

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=729533

  This bug is causing annoying garbage appended to every paste in mc:

  https://www.midnight-commander.org/ticket/3207

  I have backported the fix to Trusty, tested it in my PPA and would
  appreciate if someone could sponsor an upload in updates, since Trusty
  is LTS after all.

  [Test Case]

  Select some text ("test") and copy it into the clipboard buffer. After
  that, install mc if you don't have it already and start it:

      sudo apt-get install mc
      mc

  Press CTRL+O to swap the panels, right click with the mouse button and
  pick "Paste" from the context menu. You will see that "~0test~1" is
  pasted into the console instead of "test" as it should be.

  For more details, see the bug report on mc bug tracker referenced
  above.

  [Regression Potential]

  The patch is taken from the vte3 bug tracker; it has been in trunk for
  more than a year and is contained in vte3 0.36.2+ releases. Nobody has
  reported any problems caused by this change so far...
