fdupes 2.1.2 is stuck doesn't delete and only exit works

[albertux]

mkdir tmp && cd tmp; touch x y

fdupes version 2.1.2 in Debian bullseye, always is showing the down menu ( Preserve Files [1 - 2], all, help) :

I tried tab or enter or arrow keys but is just stuck only way to exit fdupes is type exit and do not delete duplicates

Try typing prune instead of hitting delete. Some distributions seem to have the delete key disabled under ncurses for some reason.
