[Bug 1500228] Re: When scrolling back up some of the bottom comes up as a sort of sleeve

 

@Colin Watson, ok, I have updated my report. And no, I have not changed
the default pager so that should be less.

** Description changed:

  I have recently noticed that when viewing a manpage in gnome-terminal
  that if scrolling down, when I scroll back up again some of the bottom
  part of the page comes up too sort of like a sleeve. I have attached
  some example screenshots, so I ran 'man dpkg' and this is what it looked
  like initially dpkg_man_top1.png, but when I scrolled down to the bottom
  of the page and then back up again to the top, the top looked somewhat
  different as you can see: dpkg_man_top2.png. Now, it wouldn't matter
  where I had scrolled down to, nor where I had gone up to, the effect
  witnessed would have been the same.
