You have been subscribed to a public bug by Steve Langasek (vorlon):

hexchat is a gtk+2.0 application.

Since we are attempting to deprecate gtk+2.0 applications, we should
probably remove hexchat from Ubuntu.

While there is a bug to track the gtk3 port, there doesn't seem to be
much progress:

https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/2047

Users would be better off using an alternative like xchat-gnome which is
gtk3 and is natively supported in Wayland.
