[Konsole-devel] Bug#38178: Fwd: Re: less 358 behaviour in konsole 1.0.2 (using KDE 2.2.1)

[Offer Kaye]

According to this answer I got from Mark Nudelman, the problem really was in 
less and not in konsole- or rather, the problem was in something called 
"termcap" that I don't know how to change, but using the -X switch (the 
solution in the FAQ) did work for me. 
So thanks all for trying to help, I think this "bug" can now be safely 
closed...

Yours, with a sheepish grin,

The problem is that less emits the "ti" and "te" termcap strings when it
starts & quits.  In your environment, the "te" string restores the
screen to what it was before less started.  One solution is to not
use -F, but that's probably not what you wanted to hear.  See the FAQ
http://www.greenwoodsoftware.com/less/#tite for more details about what
you can do about this.
