THIS IS NOT A BUG REPORT, my cygwin is pretty old. However I've found oddly enough if I go into the xterm receiving all the pastes and press CTRL-mousebutton, doesn't matter which button only that one of the xterm menus appears, "Main Options", "VT Fonts", whatever, might take a few tries, it seems to reset things and the pasting problem disappears w/o having to actually restart/reboot/etc anything. The menu only has to appear and then let it close, release the keypresses, nothing in the menu is clicked.
