Depends on where he's pasting. Bracketed paste doesn't actually stop
middle-click pastes from working in bash in a terminal; it just makes
it look weird, and requires a confirming Enter keypress if you paste
commands with newlines in them.
José, *where* are you trying to paste, that isn't working? At a bash
prompt? Inside an editor running in a terminal? Inside an editor
that is a GUI program? Inside some other GUI program like a web
browser?
vim for example now has a default system-wide vimrc configuration that
does funky things with the mouse, and interferes with traditional
middle-click pasting. If you're having this issue in vim, you can
work around it by doing either of these two things:
1) Have a personal ~/.vimrc file that overrides the system default.
2) Hold Shift while clicking to paste.
See <https://wiki.debian.org/NewInStretch#Changes> for more on that
change.
