Cannot multi-line paste (forces Bracketed Paste Mode) #2997

Describe the bug

I am running the Copilot CLI in VS Code's integrated Git Bash terminal, recently updated to v1.0.36.

Even after running /terminal-setup whenever I paste a multiline text block, I just get bracketed paste mode. I'm not sure if someone thinks it's a good idea to not allow users to see what they're submitting to Copilot but this is NOT a feature - it IS a bug.

Affected version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.36.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Copy a chunk of multi-line text.
  2. Pasted into Copilot CLI
    • Git Bash terminal in VS Code
    • Can use Ctrl + V, Right-click, etc. - all the same result
  3. Paste results in something like [Paste #1 - 15 lines] - NOT what was actually copied.

NOTE: Occurred occasionally in previous versions, but first paste would be bracketed, second would paste correctly.

Expected behavior

PASTE WHAT WAS COPIED. If I can't see what I'm submitting, I CAN'T TRUST IT.
