Bug#326209: openssh-client: ignore escape character (tilde) when text is pasted

[Vincent Lefevre <vincent@vinc17.org>]

Package: openssh-client
Version: 1:4.1p1-6
Severity: wishlist

When pasting text containing a newline followed by a tilde, the tilde
is interpreted as an escape character. The ssh client should provide a
way so that the escape character is interpreted as a normal character
when the delay between the newline and the escape character is too
small (the threshold could be configurable). Ditto between the escape
character and the following character.
