Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

After several key presses of the same arrow key (random number - 2 to 10 usually) consistently types in a respective code - e.g. 0A for up arrow, 0B for down arrow, 0C - right, 0D - left, so it's impossible to navigate the document.
Never experienced this behavior in other terminal editors - e.g. Nano, console itself, all work as expected.

Research direction

Reproduce the arrow-key behavior described on Windows 10 through WSL or SSH, using CMDer or ConEmu, and compare it with the stated commit fa84f6d. Done means repeated arrow presses navigate the document normally without inserting 0A, 0B, 0C, or 0D characters.
