Pasting string to password prompt fails.

[urtabajev]

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.4.2382.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Start ssh connection to host which asks password for authentication or use Python getpass.getpass()
2. Paste string from clipboard buffer to prompt
3. Correct information will not be pasted and and Python just stays waiting for input even after enter

Expected behavior

Correct string will be pasted to prompt and programs should continue as expected.

Actual behavior

Password prompts will not recieve pasted string correctly.

I can't reproduce this anywhere.

Can you provide a bit more information? What versions of what tools are you using? Has it ever worked?

Like @DHowett-MSFT, I too am unable to reproduce the issue with the exact expected behaviour described in the issue. The pasted string isn't echoed, but it doesn't result in Python waiting for an input nonetheless.

Python 3.6.5 (v3.6.5:f59c0932b4, Mar 28 2018, 16:07:46) [MSC v.1900 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import getpass
>>> getpass.getpass()
Password:
'blahblah'
>>> getpass.getpass()
Password:
'\x16'
>>>

For me following reporoduces issue perfectly:

python3 -c "import getpass;your_pwd = getpass.getpass('Enter password: '); print(your_pwd)"

When typing in password then execution reaches to print but when pasting string enter after that does not work and I can't select anything from this terminal window also when input is stuck until exectuion is interrupted.

Python in interactive mode, instead of normal mode will not reproduce issue.

Seems that Version: 0.5.2681.0 fixes it.

[DHowett-MSFT]

Yep, I can't reproduce this on 0.6 either.

I suspect I may have a related issue (Reproducible on 0.6.2951.0):

I pasted my password into a docker logon prompt, which was an auto-generated, alphanumeric (string and number only, no special characters or tabs) API key. This pasted into the command line correctly, so I could (for instance) do an $env:docker-username=<apikey> and have it be visible, and then use a powershell script to apply the login value (As long-winded as this whole route turned out to be!); however, pasting directly into the docker login Password: prompt just responded with an unauthorised: BAD_CREDENTIAL response.

Pasting the same into either Windows CMD or Windows PowerShell (5 or 6.2) worked fine.
