Public bug reported: 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." ** Affects: irssi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1882401 Title: ctrl+space freezes irssi on focal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/irssi/+bug/1882401/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
