            Bug ID: 263083
           Summary: vt newcons: Paste fails to paste full marked section,
                    only pastes part of it
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: sblachmann@gmail.com

System: FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE-p8 on amd64

When I used vi in one console, and less-ed a configuration file in another one
to merge sections into the first config file I was editing with vi, I noticed
another annoying vt newcons bug that I never encoutered on good old SC.

When marking multiple lines with the mouse, changing to another console, then
only the first few (4-10) lines of the marked section gets pasted.

This is quite annoying as one needs to repeat marking the not-pasted part,
paste, mark again, etc, until the complete section has been pasted.


I sincerely apologize for pestering you vt newcons developers with bug reports.
In the past I avoided using vt newcons because it was no fun to me due to the
many bugs.
But now I am going to make more use of my laptop which has Intel graphics, and
so I am forced to use vt newcons for suspend/resume...
Thus I hope you can understand and are not annoyed by my bug reports on vt
newcons.
