.tmux: Last character is missing when copy & pasting

I have this one weird issue: When I copy text from a running tmux session (macOS) with your config files the last character is missing in the clipboard. It is always the last one, regardless of the symbol.

When I run tmux -L test -f /dev/null all characters can be copied flawlessly. I tested several different terminal applications (iTerm 2, Alacritty, macOS Terminal). That’s not the reason. The issue only occurs with your configuration.

Is somebody else having this issue? How can I help to solve this problem - because it is bothering endlessly.

Apologies for commenting on an old ticket. This has come up for me on the last two computers I’ve set up and both times I forgot how I fixed it and found this issue. Ultimately, I fixed this by exporting EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables in my .zshrc:

export EDITOR=/usr/local/bin/vim
export VISUAL=$EDITOR

@ncreuschling I had the same issue with mouse copy/paste and I solved it by compiling tmux without --enable-utf8proc (brew version uses the flag by default)
