Description
The normal minus/plus keys are misinterpreted as the ones on keypad, thus always trigger file (de)selection.
Happens on xterm/xfce-terminal as well as on console.
Last known working version is 4.8.18 (debian).

Ran cat.
Press +, then keypad +.
In both cases + is printed. Thus there is no way to distinguish these keys.
The same for -, * and /.

Did a little bit deeper digging. The problem seems to be the setting
only_leading_plus_minus, that somehow got messed up after the upgrade and flipped to zero.
Maybe a side effect of commit #8b14798cc48bdb8b74a35c5b8b542f37ea4bd9d9.
BTW: i've also observed other config settings got broken. Was there any config layout change in recent releases ?

Highly likely.

No.
This also happens when pasting a text starting with minus or plus.
