Package: less
Version: 444-1
Severity: normal

Man pages are displayed using 'less' in my terminal. However, I recently added

LESS="-N"

to my .bashrc because I decided I always want line numbering. However, now the
line breaking for man pages is not correct. The lines are too wide for my 
terminal,
so they are wrapped near the end. Therefore I now have almost an entire blink 
line
between each line of text in the man pages.

Shouldn't 'less' report a somewhat smaller line width to the man page generator,
since the first few character positions are now taken up by the line numbering
digits?

Best regards
