> Any sane terminal should already be doing that, if not there's not really any point in offering bracketed paste in the first place as any input could break out of it.

I wanted to test whether the Mac OS Terminal.app does that, but can't even figure out how to turn on bracketed paste mode in the first place. (All a Google search turns up is an SO result assuring me that Terminal.app supports BPM. I can't find it anywhere in the settings.)

On the other hand, it's hard to give an argument for how the browser should know that the user didn't mean to select the extra portion of the text. I know that I am always resistant to solutions where my software insists that it knows better than I do. Maybe a prompt if the selection includes invisible text? (I guess the browser can tell whether some of the text being selected is out of the view window.)
