I've seen this with gnus when reading blog articles from gmane.org,
where the article has several images, and this in init.el:

    (setq gnutls-algorithm-priority "normal")
    (setq gnutls-min-prime-bits nil)

    (require 'nsm)
    (setq network-security-level 'high)
    (setq nsm-save-host-names    t)

For some article it prompts for each image for a certificate. The
message in the echo erea obscures the next question in the minibuffer,
and any keypress other than the expeced ones seems to send it into a
busy loop that is only fixed by quitting with ^G.

This is on Windows 10 with 64bit emacs (mingw64 MSYS2) built from either
emacs-26 or master.
