I'm using lxterminal 0.1.11 and currently if a string which gets pasted into the terminal contains a newline the related commands are getting executed automatically. But this can also be a security threat as for example copying text from a website doesn't guarantee to copy what you see (an attacker can copy any content this way to your clipboard that he want).

It would be nice if at least there would be an option that does prevent this execution if enabled. Any string pasted to the terminal which contains newlines would be simply cut before the first newline.
