Pasting from clipboard when language is different than copied is broken

[pavelbrylov]

There seem to be a bug with current clipboard implementation.

Repro steps:

• Copy english text (say apt-get install vim)
• Switch keyboard to some non-ascii language, say RU
• Right click in bash window
  Result for me is " - "

If I switch keyboard layout to EN and paste again, it works fine.

It is understandable that it doesn't work as expected because of the current implementation, as described by @bitcrazed here: #279 (comment), but still worth tracking because it's super annoying

Hi Pavel, not positive if this problem will be fixed by this, but have you tried running your bash in a VTerm running through an XServer? I wrote up a step-by-step tutorial on how to do this with XMing and rxvt-unicode-256color #531

Thanks for the discussion.

Closing this issue since:

1. This issue has likely been fixed since it was filed
2. This is the WSL issues repo, but this is an issue in Console which has its own Console GitHub Repo
3. GitHub doesn't allow issues to be moved between repos, preserving posters' identity :(

If you have further asks/issues, please file new issues on our Console GitHub Repo.
