Hello Ismagulov,

I tried to reproduce this behavior with all less-related environment variables 
unset. It seems to work fine (if I understood the problem correctly).
Can you please unset your env. variables (LESS, LESSOPEN) and test it again? 
Does it work as expected? If so, what to what values are those variables set?

Thanks,
Thomas
