[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Component: coreutils.x86_64  8.30. Observation not reported at pixelbeat.org
<https://www.pixelbeat.org/docs/coreutils-gotchas.html>.

Command executed in *GUI terminal* (*Gnome terminal*):
$ cat > 1
A

End file (*Ctrl D*) after 'A'. Copy from terminal both previous input and
output as pattern
'cat > 1
A'

Paste it to a text editor keeping a *mono-space* font as font applied to
text.
From text editor copy that same pattern.
Paste it into terminal as new command.
Press *Enter*-key.
End file (*Ctrl D*).

Results in terminal are:
$ cat > 1

$ cat 1
A

Pasted text content 'A' is not exhibited. Thought once queried it does
exist. Probably a bug. Regards, R.T.

This might be a bug in your terminal or a configuration
issue in the clipboard of your X system - but it is not a bug
in coreutils (the cat(1) program did what you asked it to do).

As such I'm closing this as "notabug", but discussion can continue by
replying to this thread.
