Hi emacs developers,

Do you have any patch for this issue?
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1161786

I am able to reproduce the problem too.

Emacs was started with -nw command line option.

Greetings

It's a feature.  If you don't like it, turn off electric-indent-mode.

(Remember: there's no "paste" in -nw sessions; no matter what your
terminal emulator does to support it, what Emacs sees is the
characters as if they were typed on the keyboard.  Now type "C-h l"
after pasting, then type by hand the same characters, and you will see
why this happens.)

Actually, there is "paste" in -nw sessions and we do support it since
Emacs-24.4 (tho it depends on the underlying terminal to support it, of
course).

So please, give us details about the exact terminal emulator in use, and
the exact way you "copy and paste".

Irrelevant: where we do have paste, the above-mentioned problem won't
happen.

Which -nw "paste" is that?

The only one I'm familiar with is bracketed paste--not present in 24.4.

Quoting <http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=bfc3079>:

    Emacs now supports "bracketed paste mode" when running on a terminal
    that supports it. This facility allows Emacs to understand pasted
    chunks of text as strings to be inserted instead of interpreting each
    character in the pasted text as actual user input, resulting in a
    paste experience similar to that under a window system and significant
    performance improvements when pasting large amounts of text.

Duh, you're right, it didn't make it for 24.4.  Thanks for being alert.

Petr, you might like to try the (unreleased) Emacs-25 code, which should
fix your problem.
