Strange stdin/out <-> console issue (paste problem) . May be char-win-stdio.c bug. Description of problem: I was trying to execute QEMU with VM from command line(shell) and work inside a VM within that initial console. All goes well except... pasting from clipboard. Pastings from clipboard are truncated to somewhat less (no more) then a terminal width (in columns). I understand that it seems to be far from QEMU but I tried different terminals/shells/guest systems with the same result. The only things remain the same - QEMU. Steps to reproduce: In Windows open a console (shell). Run QEMU with guest serial attached to QEMU stdio. Try to paste some text. Pasted text will be truncated to 15-35 characters. Before QEMU run and after QEMU exit text pasted normally. Additional information: - Shell probed: **cmd**, **powershell** - Terminals probed: **Windows Terminal**, **Alacritty**, **Wezterm**, **Windows Terminal Preview** - Guest probed: **Alpine Linux**, **FreeBSD** - Setting inside guest probed: various terminal speed/options via **stty** - QEMU arguments probed: from **-nographics** to manually define **-chardev/-serial** with/without **-mon**. Finally I gave up. But want to mention that there are may be bug in source. When I tried to study source to find a hint for my issue I found that (char-win-stdio.c, line 162): ``` is_console = GetConsoleMode(stdio->hStdIn, &dwMode) != 0; stdio->dwOldMode = dwMode; if (is_console) { ``` Documentation of **GetConsoleMode** function says: ``` Return value: If the function succeeds, the return value is nonzero. If the function fails, the return value is zero. ``` If understand correctly **is_console** will always be _true_. It will be _false_ only in case of invalid **stdio->hStdIn**. I don't how this is related to my issue just put here all info I have in hope of resolving.
