Thanks for testing.

Hmm.  Doesn't happen here.  This is probably because you are running an
older version of ncurses -- before 5.9, I believe?  Or at least before
6.0.

I can reproduce it, though, when using the -K option.  But... is there
still anyone who needs/uses this option?


(Weirder is that when pressing Alt+PgUp or Alt+PgDn, nano will complain
about an "Unknown sequence" but will enter "3~" into the buffer.  Ouch.
Have reported this bug as https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?54291.)
