** Description changed: + [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. + + [Original 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."
