Possible keypad() bug

[sam_ncurses]

Possible bug:
ncursesw and terminfo v:6.1.20180923 (Fedora 30, GNOME v:3.32.2 or  
Konsole v:19.08.3)

In this version, keypad() no longer allows the ‘escape’ key through to  
the application.
If keypad() is turned off (no translation), ‘escape’ comes through correctly.

Is this intentional, or a problem?
Any hint or guidance on this would be welcome.

I have scanned the change log since that time and do not see any  
mention of changes to keypad(). The docs still describe the “short  
delay” to determine whether an escape sequence follows the escape  
keycode, after which the escape should come through the stream as an  
independent keycode.

I am the maintainer of the NcDialogAPI, which relies upon the ‘escape’  
key when user want to discard the edits within a dialog control and  
move to the next control.
