Confirm here, and appears to be a difference between Qt 4 and Qt 5.

When I build the latest with --with-qt=4, I get Page Up/Down passed
through to the terminal and less handles them. When I build with Qt 5,
the keys never make it to the terminal, probably being captured by a Qt
scroll widget or something (even though they do not scroll the command
window, Shift + Page Up/Down do).
