Description
To join a channel with the +k password mode set, you would usually type /join #channelname password. If you attempt to join a passworded channel from the channel list, it hangs on "loading messages" indefinitely. Since there is no lobby to send commands in, you have to join an open channel to be able to send the join command, which then results in the same behaviour.

Research direction
Reproduce the problem by selecting a password-protected channel from the channel list and compare it with joining using /join #channelname password. Trace the channel-list join flow and its loading state; done means a valid channel key allows the channel to open and messages to load instead of hanging indefinitely.
