>Have you actually ever encountered such a bug in tmux though? Because I've been using it for around 15 years and can honestly say I haven't.

Since you asked, once every few months or so the whole server crashes which takes out all my windows. I don't know what exactly triggers it, other than it being something to do with pasting, and it's so infrequent that I haven't bothered to investigate it. Obviously the trivial repro of just pasting the same thing I tried to paste the first time doesn't repro it; I'd need to gdb the coredump, which is :effort:

I wouldn't expect this Rust rewrite or any other rewrite to fix it in any case; it would be more efficient to figure out the crash and fix it in the original C version.

Jackpot.
