Pasting into editor does incremental indentation (regression)

[alex_sh]

I've encountered this bug in 4.7.2 and 4.7.3 (4.6.2.pre1 worked properly):

Consider that I have a text with some lines starting with spaces or tabs. When I paste it into mc (using shift-middle-click or shift-insert), mc thinks they're manual indentations, so it indents every line even further.

For example, pasting the following:

PID TTY TIME CMD

2 ? 00:00:00 kthreadd
3 ? 00:00:00 \_ migration/0
4 ? 00:00:00 \_ ksoftirqd/0
5 ? 00:00:00 \_ watchdog/0
6 ? 00:00:00 \_ migration/1

is actually pasted as:

PID TTY TIME CMD

2 ? 00:00:00 kthreadd

3 ? 00:00:00 \_ migration/0

4 ? 00:00:00 \_ ksoftirqd/0

5 ? 00:00:00 \_ watchdog/0

6 ? 00:00:00 \_ migration/1

Note that this only happens in X11 (I tried using xterm, konsole and xfce-Terminal). It appears to paste as intended in the text-mode.

Also, I just checked 4.6.2.pre1 and it behaves properly, so this is a regression.

Disable Return does autoindent in editor preferences.

Replying to zaytsev:

Disable Return does autoindent in editor preferences.

Except this also disables the "Return Does Autoindent" functionality (which I need).

Keep in mind that with "Return Does Autoindent" on, 4.6.2.pre1 works correctly (both in text-mode and X11), mc-4.7.3 in text-mode works correctly, mc-4.7.3 in X11 doesn't.

I remember reading something about the fact that mc automatically disables "Return Does Autoindent" while shift is pressed. I guess that detection in X11 just broke somewhere along the line.
