interesting -- thank you Jan for sharing. In my experience I have not observed that ... because long ago I set my LESS environment variables to
$> export | grep -e LESS -e PAGER GIT_PAGER='less --no-init --quit-if-one-screen' LESS='--ignore-case --LONG-PROMPT --force --raw-control-chars --SILENT' LESSCLOSE='/usr/bin/lesspipe %s %s' LESSHISTFILE=/home/yoh/.var/less/history LESSOPEN='| /usr/bin/lesspipe %s' PAGER='less -R' so in my case I use -R (not -r) which might be more preferable since it takes care only about ANSI color codes (although I also have --raw-control-chars in general for less). Cheers!
