OK, I won't object to closing this bug report, since the bug doesn't seem to be happening (on Emacs 26.1 and master) at the moment. I would object to labelling the closure "not a bug" or "won't fix". I do, however, raise an eyebrow at the "doesn't seem to be leading anywhere" justification. Bugs, particularly difficult bugs (as this one is) tend "not to be leading anywhere" for a lot of their life times. It would be bad just to close such bugs for such reasons, rather than deal with them. On a Linux tty, this problem of C-g being non-functional happens to me relatively often (several times a year), resulting in me having to kill Emacs and start it again. Unfortunately I haven't logged these occurrences at all. I strongly believe there is a problem in the keyboard handling area of Emacs, though pinning it down is difficult. -- Alan Mackenzie (Nuremberg, Germany).
