[SOLVED] xfce4-terminal 0.8.10 - no bold font and highlighted paste

hi, bold (and italic) terminal font does not work. how to apply a bold font in terminal?
bold text is allowed in settings but just applies to [username@name ~]$

should be this: Monospace Bold Italic

how to get rid of this white bar when pasting text/command/path from clipboard?

Thanks,
Tim

With respect to other font styles working, looks like a vte3 change/bug. See https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/-/issues/323. There was a commit yesterday that seems to restore the bold style. If you downgrade as per that bug report (vte3 & vte-common), you will get italics to work again.

As for the highlighted paste, I've noticed this change recently as well. It happens now in gnome-terminal as well, so probably another vte change - but I can't locate this change or a bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte.

Re: [SOLVED] xfce4-terminal 0.8.10 - no bold font and highlighted paste

thank you very much, i downgraded both pkgs and got my bold font back.

the highlighted paste:

This is not relevant to xfce4-terminal, but to bash (which I assume you’re using). In version 5.1 of bash the setting
enable-bracketed-paste is set to on by default. This feature will highlight the pasted text in the terminal.
To disable it, close your terminal, add this line in your ~/.bashrc file

bind 'set enable-bracketed-paste off'

and restart the terminal.
