severity normal thanks
I am unable to reproduce this behavior here. And -S really should make a visible difference.
Is this happining on all files as soon as they contain lines longer than then screen or do some work and some don't? What is the simplest file it happens on?
Do you have any environment variables or configuration files that affect less' behavior? Like ~/.less, $LESS, $LESSOPEN?

When viewing files with lines longer than the screen, the output becomes
somewhat unpredictable. It seems like text is wrapping around and
obscuring text on the following lines, but I can't tell with certainty
what is going on, because the behavior is inconsistent. For example,
scrolling one direction may reveal text that was hidden when scrolling
the other direction, and scrolling first right and then left will also
reveal a different set of text.
I tried fixing this using the -S flag, but that didn't change anything at all, as far as I could tell.
