Does libreadline7 (8.1) break compatibility with old one?
Reverting libreadline7 to 7.0.3-3 solves the issue.
Setting

in ~/.inputrc also solves the problem.
Well, one obvious way of solving the issue would be to use the configure
option of not enabling bracketed paste by default. Although it would be
better in the long term if the applications learn to use it correctly…
The default was changed as documented to avoid potential security
issues: what could go wrong if you copied "rm -rf /..." not selecting
the ... and pasted it including the "\n", or the source (e.g. javascript
malware) added a few such commands for different systems to the copy! ;^>
