selection dialog hangs on FreeBSD wiht go >=1.13

[aperum]

Summary

The secret selection screen hangs, cursor movement or cancelation do not work, and has to be killed.

Steps To Reproduce

When opening the selection dialog with gopass searchstring the selection screen is drawn and then hangs and must be killed.

Expected behavior

Entries can be selected from the list or the dialog can be canceled

Environment

OS: FreeBSD 12.1
gopass: 1.8.6
golang: 1.13.5

Compiled from source

Additional context

I did alot of tests and could narrow it down to the following:

Compiling gopass with go 1.12.x results in a working dialog but compiling with go >= 1.13 exhibits the faulty behaviour. The culprit seems to be termbox-go which in turn is used by gocui. It depends heavily on the syscall package which has been deprecated by the go team in favour of x/sys/unix.
It seems to hang in the mainloop when waiting for SIGIO events. As the termbox-go README states the package is now "somewhat unmaintained" so opening a bug report there may not result in a fix. The gocui package also seems to be unmaintained as the last commit is from April, 2018.

I tried a dirty hack by replacing the termbox-go dependency in gocui with github.com/gdamore/tcell/termbox which then also results in a working dialog.

As a side note: The github binary release works. I think it may be build with golang <1.13?

Bump issue as i get more and more reports from people using the FreeBSD port about this

Seems to work for me now when building from ports. The port does have a few patches now.

[aperum]

Yes, we committed a patch based on my ugly hack described in this ticket. This works for now but also replaces termbox-go with tcell/termbox. Going forward this might not be compatible with future versions, so a fix in the project would be preferable.
