zsh (?) stops working properly after a while

I'm using urxvt, but I had the same issue when I tried xfce4-terminal. I'm not exactly sure how and when it happens, but when I compile a large package from AUR and when sudo wants me to enter my password nothing happens. I enter my password and press enter, nothing. It's like the keyboard isnt working? But Ctrl-C to cancel the operation works though.

I have to close and open up the terminal again if I wan it to work as normal again, but I cant compile and install larger packages though. What could be wrong?

I was suffering from the same problem recently, the solution proposed here worked for me : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/137 … d-in-shell , that is: "use ttyctl -f to have zsh automatically reset terminal settings after commands are run" . Even with the explanation provided there I have absolutely no idea why this happens, I definitely haven't experienced this issue with any other shell.
A workaround in case for some reason it keeps happening is to use control + enter instead of just enter whenever that happens.
