    _______________________________________________________

Details:

Consider the appended m-file, which only contains the 2 following lines:
disp('Ré');
%disp('Ré');

1)
When executing the appended m-file, everything is as expected: Ré is
displayed.

2)
When copying the two lines to the clipboard and pasting them into the command
windows, the command windows crashes!!!!


Additionally there are other strange behaviors:

3)
When selecting the first line only and executing it with F9, the result is
different from point 1: Ré 

4)
When copying the first line only (with CR) to the clipboard, pasting it into
the command windows, the result is as follows:

    >> d
    error: 'd' undefined near line 1, column 1
    >> i
    ans =  0 + 1i
    >> s
    error: 's' undefined near line 1, column 1
    >> p
    error: 'p' undefined near line 1, column 1
    >> (
    '
    error: parse error:
    
      syntax error
    
    >>> '
        ^
    >> R
    error: 'R' undefined near line 1, column 1
    >> ');
    error: parse error:
    
      unterminated character string constant
    
    >>> ');
          ^
5)
When copying the first line only (without CR), pasting it into the command
windows and pressing enter, the result is as for point 4 but additionally
there are 30 lines of semicolons displayed in the console.
