please try the following command from the shell prompt.

       LESS='-Q -i -W -j5' less /etc/passwd

press space bar just enough times to get to the end of the document,
but no more.

notice how the last line is in reverse video.  that is what i am suggesting.

press space bar again.  notice how the reverse video goes away.

man less:

      -w or --hilite-unread
             Temporarily  highlights  the  first  "new"  line after a forward
             movement of a full page.  The first "new" line is the line imme-
             diately  following  the  line  previously  at  the bottom of the
             screen.  Also highlights the target line after a g or p command.
             The  highlight is removed at the next command which causes move-
             ment.  The entire line is highlighted, unless the -J  option  is
             in  effect, in which case only the status column is highlighted.

      -W or --HILITE-UNREAD
             Like -w, but temporarily highlights the first new line after any
             forward movement command larger than one line.
