Description

I'm sure this isn't a new problem but it is new to me.
I installed micro on Raspberry Pi 4 just this week using:

curl https://getmic.ro | bash

Up to date PI OS and up to date Windows - all works PERFECTLY - and I use the editor in an SSH session from Windows - the clipboard from Windows to the editor is failing completely. Yet on the main MICRO page we see:

As its name indicates, micro aims to be somewhat of a successor to the nano editor by being easy to install and use. It strives to be enjoyable as a full-time editor for people who prefer to work in a terminal, or those who regularly edit files over SSH.

Nano copies and pastes back and forth to Windows no problem..

Ideas?

Research direction

The issue does not name a source file or test. First reproduce clipboard transfer from Windows into micro over SSH on the reported Raspberry Pi setup, then trace the terminal clipboard handling involved. Done means Windows clipboard content can be pasted into micro over SSH, with a regression test or documented reproduction if the project supports one.
