ESP8266: WebREPL truncates pasted data
I'm running 1.8.4 and I notice that data pasted into the WebREPL is truncated.
Start up the WebREPL and trying pasting the following
"*******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************"
The result is that only around 256 characters of what is pasted actually shows up. This is most troublesome when trying to use paste mode (CTRL-E) to bring in some existing code.
This might be related to the dupterm ringbuffer getting filled: https://github.com/micropython/micropython/blob/master/esp8266/esp_mphal.c#L39
esp8266 webREPL sends old file data: unexpected UI behaviour.
Usage: send a program to the esp8266, run it then modify the source. Use webREPL to re-send the updated source. The UI still shows the name of the file, and pressing 'Send to device' apparently works. However it behaves as if the old file were buffered re-sending the old data. It seems to be necessary to browse for the file again to force it to load the new version.
While not a major issue it is likely to confuse newcomers.
