I am not surprised that the pstree output is not displayed correctly. pstree is using a lot of control sequences which "more" does not care about. "less" on the other hand needs to know about what happens to the screen when control sequences are used. (see the manpage for option -R).
The "fix" is quite simple: tell pstree not to use control sequences to draw the lines on the screen but ascii characters: "pstree -A | less". > Package: less > Version: 382-1 > Severity: normal > > pstree|less > > fails to properly display the lines that pstree draws.
