xrvt-unicode paste
Regression between 9.30-bp155.2.6 9.31-bp155.3.3.1 This is because rxvt-unicode added a 'sanitized paste' but made it the default paste rather than the new option /o\ Michal, would you mind to tend your patch [1] to rxvt-unicode first? I would prefer not to diverge from upstream. [1] https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1131290 Upstream says: "just get over it, its trivial to override confirm-paste with a patch version that changes whatever you want" In other words they don't care about breaking existing features :/ I'm not sure if I'm really minority, who uses rxvt-unicode on more distros and expects to have pasting letters the same across distros. Fixing new line is obviously good idea, but I'm not so happy about changing letters (understand the reasons for the letters change, but without being accepted upstream it's not good).

Did you contact him privately? Or is there a public link? I'll probably try to discuss this with other distro maintainers (Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch Linux, Gentoo), so that I either use public discussion or OBS.
I don't know if the rxvt-unicode irc channel is logged. Anyway, I think it's reasonable to discuss with distribution maintainers to avoid inconsistency as much as possible. Clearly this is not a great move from upstream, and distributions carrying older version will be inconsistent with distributions carrying new version if nothing is done. (In reply to Michal Suchanek from comment #7) > I don't know if the rxvt-unicode irc channel is logged. No, r irc.libera.chat has no logs. It has mailing list [1]. > > Anyway, I think it's reasonable to discuss with distribution maintainers to > avoid inconsistency as much as possible. Yep, I'll write several maintainers (Debian, Fedora, Arch Linux) and Cc you. IMHO best would be to agree on the patch and then send it with others in Cc who would support the change. > Clearly this is not a great move from upstream, and distributions carrying > older version will be inconsistent with distributions carrying new version > if nothing is done. Yep, I still hope we would come with a single patch in upstream. [1] http://lists.schmorp.de/pipermail/rxvt-unicode/ I see regardless my concern here about diverging keyboard shortcut from upstream (and thus from all distros) SR#1135993 [1] was accepted. I still don't think it's a good idea to diverge keyboard shortcut (I agree on fixing pasting) but I will not block it. [1] https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1135993 The request has been accepted, I assign it to Michal who submitted the request, I suppose the issue is resolved and can be close now. Submitted update to 15.5 and 15.6 In 15.4 the broken version has been released as an update but it does not seem to accept updates anymore. openSUSE-RU-2024:0059-1: An update that has two recommended fixes can now be installed.
