SSH: Some clipboard content can't be pasted

[vid]

Basics

remoter version: 3.2.1
device remoter is installed on: iPad 2
iOS version: 5.0.1


Problem Specific

what type of session: ssh
server specifics: Linux
connection: WAN to LAN
error message, odd screen: "No Usable information on the Pasteboard", crash or no response
reveal any other info you think may help:

I've noticed that if I copy some code from an email or a website and try to paste it into a file (vim via ssh) it may return and error message, crash the app or do nothing.
Perhaps the foreign code has bad line endings or a bad character that is causing the code to break or escape the paste function before completing ?
If I paste the content into Notes first and then copy and paste that content it works.

Extra Mile

try to reproduce the problem, clarify if it's consistent or not if possible:
It is consistent with an external keyboard. Repeatable steps:
1. Open website on safari with code (bash script, php, html, etc...)
2. Copy code to clipboard
3. Open an SSH session in remoter
4. Edit a file via VIM (vim filename; 'i' for insert)
5. Paste clipboard contents via external bluetooth keyboard
6. Error message or wait... -app crashes

check out whats known, fixed and planned in the bug tracking system: didn't see anything related to clipboard paste issues.

Example:
I'll paste some code and to test and confirm in a reply;
From: http://php.about.com/od/learnphp/ht/phpredirection.htm

Code: Select all

<?php

   header( 'Location: http://www.yoursite.com/new_page.html' ) ;

?>

I just tested the code above and this time I got an error message when using the Paste icon:
"No Usable Information in the Pasteboard"

Perhaps the problem is when I use Ctrl+V on my external keyboard... which I left at home.
It could be the Ctrl+V forces the operation that causes the crashing hiccup?

Pasting into Notes isn't consistent solution either. It didn't work this time, but did this morning with the external keyboard.

Thanks for the very good report!
Remoter currently only handles text in for pasting. But I will look and see what can be done to make sure it at least can convert special text into simple text and then still allow pasting.
I'm going to open a trac item for this.

thank you!,
