Hello Vincent Smeets,

thanks for your bug report against util-linux.

more(1) is part of util-linux, a large collection of differing
problems. Given your report sounds like something thats not
Debian-specific, could I ask you to file a report upstream, where it
has a larger chance of being understood and fixed in a timely
manner?

Please try sending a bug report and/or patch to either of these
resources:
>      E-MAIL: util-li...@vger.kernel.org
>      Web:    https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/issues

Thanks,
Chris
