I'm currently using 'ubuntu intrepid', which has very modern everything (readline 5.2-3 build1). I've noticed this problem since the beginning of time now. This is definitely a 'psql + something' problem...I can paste into psql query buffer editor (vim) following a /r/e with no problems, but not directly into psql itself. Another interesting point: the problem manifests with pasts over a certain size, but tends to bork at a particular point. The size of the psql window affects this...smaller windows are more tolerant of larger (but still not very large) pastes. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
