Which terminal emulator are you using? You mentioned NA, but that's an important distinction here.
I suspect he is referring to
cmd, where a right-click corresponds to Paste, with the likely additional bug that pasted text beginning with a CRLF is interpreted as Enter.My bad, I typically am running from powershell, also I need to clarify that it occurs also when doing ctrl + v. One thing I sometimes do is use voice to text and then paste it in to the command line. So likely it could be the fact that I'm inserting a good few sentences (which have to wrap to new lines) sometimes as a rebuttal to codex. Oddly sometimes it doesn't do it, but it's definitely there for me at least.
