I have the same or similar problem with Pan 0.144-1 (current version in 
Ubuntu repository) on Ubuntu 18.04-5.  Pan worked perfectly until a 
regrettably un-noted update a few months ago, when I started getting the 
'Terminate' or 'Wait' message on shutdown, with a long wait if wait was 
selected.  When restarting Pan all changes I made to the group that was 
open on shutdown (all messages marked read) were lost, regardless of 
whether 'Terminate' or 'Wait' was selected.  As a workaround I have 
started switching to an inactive newsgroup before closing Pan.  This 
results in a fast normal appearing shutdown, with the final group change 
being the only thing lost - Pan reopens in the active group and shows me 
only new messages.
