Package: less
Version: 394-2
Severity: important

When I use 'less' inside gnome-terminal, it simply does not work.  I can see 
the status bar at the bottom, showing the file (or whatever) that I am viewing, 
but no text of that file is displayed.  Also, less does not seem to know how 
large the terminal is, as the status bar shows at a fixed number of lines 
(about 24) from the top of the terminal, rather than being displayed properly 
at the very bottom of the terminal.

When I use less inside the virtual terminal (i.e., ctrl-alt-f1), it works fine.

This is a recent problem.  Until a week or so ago it worked fine.

Perhaps this is a bug with gnome-terminal, but I'm reporting it here.  Maybe it 
needs to be forwarded...

If I can give any other useful information, let me know.
