Interrupting pinentry-tty with ctrl-c leaves the terminal broken

[Jani Uusitalo]

When pinentry-tty is used to prompt for the password, interrupting the prompt using ctrl-c leaves the terminal only partially working: only some letter keys are echoed back.

The terminal remains in this broken state for about a minute, after which it resets itself and everything starts working again.

Below, I'm swiping through all alphabet and numeric keys of my keyboard at both 14.54, where only "469+esgxb" gets through, and again at 14.55 (the last line), where they all come through.

14.54 jani@saegusa:testejä$ export LC_ALL=C
14.54 jani@saegusa:testejä$ { sleep 60; echo "60 seconds passed"; } & /usr/bin/gpg -d passwords.gpg
[1] 12375
gpg: AES encrypted data
Enter passphrase

Passphrase:
gpg: signal Interrupt caught ... exiting

14.54 jani@saegusa:testejä$ 469+esgxb^C
14.55 jani@saegusa:testejä$ 60 seconds passed

[1]+ Done { sleep 60; echo "60 seconds passed"; }
