I am using terminal mode in two Linux machines using Ubuntu 18.04.
On my laptop I navigate with a touchpad equipped with a left and right select button.
I have a file on first machine that I want to copy to the second machine.
I have tried successfully using scp to copy the file from first machine to second machine.
I have also tried cat file on first machine, Ctrl-C select/copy then on second machine I open nano editor and I do a right click from the touchpad and the contents are copied.
All selected content seems to copy fine, both scp and Ctrl-C except for the remarks with multiple same characters.
For example:
#########################################
//------------------------------------------
are copied over as:
#
//-
Respectively
It doesn't seem to affect the running code and in .c files gcc works just fine.
However, if I try to edit the copied code nano editor acts strangely like the characters are hidden, they will show then become hidden, etc. as I try to delete and edit them including Ctrl-k in nano editor.
Is there a work-around or is this even considered an issue.
I have searched around but don't see anything related to multiple characters issues.
Thanks for input.
