            Bug ID: 4569
           Summary: Gnupg prompt and input devices deadlock
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: 4.0.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3

Hello!

Claws version: 4.0
OS: ArchLinux
DE: i3wm

I've discovered a bug that I can reproduce with 100% probability with the setup
above. The following steps are required to reproduce it:

1) In the message list, select an encrypted message by left clicking on it.
2) The gnupg prompt will pop up asking for the key master passphrase to decrypt
the message.
3) There is a slight time delay between steps 1 and 2. Within this period of
time, before the prompt from step 2 popped up, right click on the message
selected in step 1 to invoke the context menu for this message.

The following happens:
The prompt from step 2 pops up, but it doesn't get the input. Now all keyboard
and mouse button events are blocked, and the only thing you can do is to move
the mouse cursor across the screen. You cannot type, click, switch TTY. Hard
reboot is the only option to fix this.
