Bug Description
Gnome terminator does not support bracketed paste mode introduced by xterm to detect between typed-in text and text that is copy-pasted.
Due to this, copy-pasting text in terminator adds some garbage character before and after pasted text.
This bug occurs on latest version (from bzr).
Example:
my_pasted_text
becomes
0~my_
This occurs when using Terminator along with Midnight Commander.
This is a well known bug that has been fixed already in Gnome Terminal.
Apparently the bug has been fixed in VTE, and as a result on Gnome Terminal.
See references below for details.
To trigger the bug, see sequence below, copied from referenced bug report:
1) start gnome-terminal
2) start mc in that terminal
3) enter the Ctrl-o subshell
4) maximise the terminal (in terminator, this is same as doing for instance Ctrl-Z to maximize current sub-window)
5) leave the Ctrl-o subshell (i.e. return to the dir/file list)
6) copy some text (e.g. some "filename")
7) return back to the Ctrl-o subshell
8) paste the text

Just for google search: so this is garbage/extra tilde characters when copy-paste in terminator.
Also I'm using Ubuntu Trusty 14.04, but as said bugs appears in latest version from bzr anyway.
