There is a bug in IRSSI which causes it to hang (more precisely - stop accepting any input) due to a recent change in GLib. There is an upstream patch for this issue: https://github.com/irssi/irssi/pull/1183 There seems to be no sign of a new release of irssi with this patch, so it would be nice to have it added to Portage, as the issue is really annoying. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. start irssi 2. press e.g. ctrl-space or ctrl-2 3. irrsi shows new messages but fails to accept any input from the user
