*correction  to directory names:
Now I got an error that it could not find graphh.inc So I copied all the .inc files from J:\Programming\FPC 3.0.2\units\i386-win32\ptcpas\ptcgraph\inc  to J:\Programming\FPC 3.0.2\units\i386-win32\ptcpas\ptcgraph because I have no idea how else to make it find them.

I have done the "download snapshot" but I just don't know what to do with it now to properly integrate it into my compiler.  

Here is what I have tried to do.
First I moved everything from J:\Programming\FPC 3.0.2\units\i386-win32\graph to a temporary location so it wouldn't find the old versions of ptcgraph and ptccrt Now when I try to compile my program, I get unit ptcgraph not found... which is what I want because I want to be sure not to get the old version Then I copied the entire snapshot to into J:\Programming\FPC 3.0.2\units\i386-win32\ptcpas Now when I try to compile my program, I still get unit ptcgraph not found.
I added J:\Programming\FPC 3.0.2\units\$fpctarget\ptcpas\* to the directories Now I got an error that it could not find graphh.inc So I copied all the .inc files from J:\Programming\FPC 3.0.2\units\i386-win32\graph\inc to J:\Programming\FPC 3.0.2\units\i386-win32\graph because I have no idea how else to make it find them.
Now I can can compile successfully and run my program, but it has the same issues.
But I notice the modified file win32kbd.inc is never used.   I have even removed it temporarily and I can still compile successfully.      I did a search for win32kbd and I find win32kbdd.inc but not win32kbd.inc

That is where I am at.  I think If I could correctly apply win32kbd.inc it may work

I think my problem is that I just compiled ptcgraph.pp and replaced ptcgraph.ppu in FPCWin\units\i386-win32\graph.... so apparently that's not the correct way to do it.    So then I tried adding the entire folder downloaded from https://sourceforge.net/projects/ptcpas/files/
But that's a fix, that's not yet released (because it needs testing), so it's in svn trunk only, and not in the release files. Get it from:

  https://sourceforge.net/p/ptcpas/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/

Either click on "Download Snapshot", or install subversion (TortoiseSVN) and checkout https://svn.code.sf.net/p/ptcpas/code/trunk

> Into a folder at FPCWin\units\i386-win32\ptcpas  then renaming the original ptccrt.ppu and ptcgraph.ppu located in FPCWin\units\i386-win32\graph but now It can't find ptcgraph, even though it's there under  FPCWin\units\i386-win32\ptcpas\ptcgraph so now I'm realizing that I'm just guessing and really don't have a clue the proper way to integrate this into my fpc compiler.

Click on console window, see letters are working correctly, now go back to graph window,  anything you press acts like ALT, or CTRL is still being pressed until you actually enter a keystroke using ALT, or CTRL.   It seems to me there is probably some flag or variable being set that the alt or ctrl key is being pressed, but is being interrupted by the window focus change, when focus is brought back, the variable is still set for ALT or CTRL being down, but neither is down anymore, but the flag cannot be cleared until a key sequence using ctrl or alt is used.  I did also notice that just hitting alt or ctrl and releasing it in the graph window clears the condition and characters are back to normal again.
