1. Save the following file (minimal test example) as bug.py:

---- begin file -----
#!/usr/bin/env python3

def one_function():
    print()

    return 42


def another_function(filename):
    """
    With a docstring here, if you place the cursor between the two
    lines of one_function, hit tab to indent 4 spaces, then type
    two single quotes, '', emacs seems to lock up: the quotes aren't
    echoed and neither is anything else you type after that.
    But a Ctrl-G will wake emacs up and make the quotes and anything
    else you typed appear. Depending on your emacs config, you might
    need a double Ctrl-G.
    """
    pass
---- end file -----

2. Run emacs -Q bug.py

3. Go to line 5, the blank line between the print() and the return.

4. Hit TAB, which should automatically indent 4 spaces to match the two
existing lines.

5. Type two single quotes '' -- note that the quotes do not echo.
Try typing more characters, or moving up or down ... nothing works.
In fact, try hiding then re-showing the window, or going to another
virtual desktop then back to where the emacs window is: it doesn't even
redraw, seems to be locked up hard.

But it isn't really, because ^G^G will wake emacs up (sometimes a single
^G works, sometimes I need two, depending on what other packages are loaded).

Thanks, this is already fixed in what will shortly become Emacs 29.1.

So I'm closing this bug.
