Hello world !!!

I have a problem when I try to paste to export of a configuration of one MikTik to another.

When I havein /ip dhcp-server lease

the terminal of the winbox autocompletes the commands beginning from the first letter :
the above results inand gives an error

Tryingresults inI do not know from which release this behaviour startet.
I first saw it in 6.25.
Copying a complete configuration will get kind of exhausting with that.

You must be somehow accidentally engaging HotLock mode: seethis page of the manualon the wiki.

If you are not hitting Ctrl-V yourself, perhaps the same ASCII value that Ctrl-V would generate has somehow made it into the script or config that you are copying into the terminal.

If you are copying directly from one MikroTik console/terminal to another, rather than pasting it directly into the other terminal, try to first paste it into an intermediate destination, such as a text editor (Notepad? TextEdit in Plain Text mode? vi in some other console?), and then re-copying it from that. I have found that some of the ANSI terminal control characters that influence the formatting and coloring of the text in a RouterOS console can get captured into the clipboard buffer, and can cause trouble when being pasted into another RouterOS console. Pasting the clipboard into another place and re-copying it can effectively filter out those rogue bytes.

Alternatively, if you log into RouterOS by suffixing a "+tc" to the end of the username (e.g., "admin+tc"), this will disable the funky color and terminal auto-detection characters from being generated, which may make copying-and-pasting between terminals work much more smoothly; seethis section of the manual(console login process) for more information.

Thank you Nathan.
It seems that I hit CRTL-V for pasting the code and got into the HotLock mode.
Today everything worked again.

Ah, yes. Ctrl-V is the keyboard shortcut for Paste in Windows. I have absent-mindedly tried to paste into Winbox using Ctrl-V many, many times, which is why I am so well acquainted with HotLock.

You have never been able to paste into a Winbox terminal using Ctrl-V; you must right-click and hit 'Paste' in the pop-up menu. This is not a new thing as of 6.25.
