My REPL flickers and is very slow when I paste a large text. I have this issue on Win10 with several Julia versions:

See this [issue](https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/issues/15787) on GitHub. I do not use `OhMyREPL.jl`. Any thoughts?

Have you tried to use the new [Windows Terminal](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/windows-terminal-preview/9n0dx20hk701)? Not sure whether that would solve it, but I’ve been very happy with it over the last months.

Pasting into the console works fine.
