Selective loading shows that balanced paren mode makes several keys, including "Page Up," "Page Down," and "Delete" unusable. Rather than performing their respective actions, each key emits a three-character sequence into the buffer, which does not, in fact, perform the intended action.

This appears to be an interaction between the balanced parentheses mode and the paren highlighting package. The character sequences seem to be console color representations. This could most likely be tracked down in the paren highlighting, and if not there, then in the balanced paren code.

However, there might be a quick hack to implement of writing a small function to make sure balanced paren mode is off before performing the key action and then restoring balanced parens if need be.
