Org 9.6.9 hangs when saving encrypted entries

Org 9.6.9 hangs when saving encrypted entries

Emacs 29.1, org version 9.6.9
When encrypting an entry in org-mode using symmetric encryption
and gpg 2.2, emacs just hangs there on 'Saving file'.

Tried running a backtrace using emacs -Q, but no errors generated,
it just hangs there.

There is nothing wrong with gpg, I can encrypt/decrypt from the command
line just fine, and when viewing files with gpg extension, it correctly
decrypts it and the decrypted contents are viewable in the buffer. But
when saving a modified file with encryption, emacs just hangs there.

What if you do the same with a simple textual file (not an Org file)?

You mean gpg from the command line or within emacs?

From within Emacs. Try to open encrypted file.txt.gpg in Emacs, edit it,
and save.

Same behavior. Just tried it.
From command line:

gpg —symmetric newfile.txt

this produces newfile.txt.gpg

Open newfile.txt.gpg within emacs. Opens and decrypts into buffer just fine. 
Then edit the file and save with C-x C-s.

Then emacs hangs. Have to C-g to get out of it.

Then, it has nothing to do with Org.

Looks like https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=63882 - a known
issue with particular GPG version. But, AFAIK, that issue is limited to
GPG 2.4.1.

I would recommend you to double-check your GPG version and if it does
not fit bug#63882, report the problem to Emacs (M-x report-emacs-bug).

Are you suggesting I should try a different version of gpg?
