2020-08-06 23:05:08 Steve Langasek description see https://github.com/irssi/irssi/issues/1180 there is a patch available for this that needs to be applied to irssi for focal from GitHub issue: "A change in GLib 2.63 broke some assumptions in Irssi that the null-byte NUL / U+0000 is a valid Unicode character. This would occur when the user types Ctrl+Space. As a result, the input loop never manages to process the NUL-byte (and any other user input that follows, ever). This affects all versions of Irssi as soon as your system is updated to this GLib version." [SRU Justification] pressing Ctrl+Space in an irssi window (whether intentionally or by accident) causes the application to freeze and it is not possible to un-freeze it. [Test case] 1. Run irssi 2. Type 3. Press Ctrl+Space 4. Try to type some more, observe that it doesn't work 5. Kill irssi 6. Upgrade to the package from -proposed 7. Run irssi 8. Type 9. Press Ctrl+Space 10. Type some more, observe that the characters appear. [Regression potential] This is a targeted patch that specifically detects the case that NUL is received in input as returned by new glib. I don't see any way that this could cause regressions.
