One reason is that most UIs send key events as they receive them from the
keyboard, one at a time, whereas the curses UI gets a single key event from
curses and then sends all of the scancodes which it takes to represent that
key. In other words, a single key event from curses could result in as many as
10 actual key events needing to be passed along - both the press and release
for the actual key plus up to four modifiers (shift, control, alt, altgr).
Another reason is that it's not a problem for a lot of applications. I happened
to hit it in an application, and, therefore, coded a fix for it.
