Package: util-linux
Version: 2.38.1-1.1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: vo...@math.berkeley.edu
Dear Maintainer,
I get incorrect behavior from "more -ce" in the presence of certain blank lines.
To reproduce:
1. In a terminal with 66 lines, run "more -ce" on the attached file.
2. At the "--More--" prompt, press the space bar.
3. Line 2 of the file incorrectly remains on the screen.
Also, if you type "d" at step 2 instead of the space bar, two blank lines
are shown instead of one.
This happens both with xterm (TERM=xterm) and the Linux console (TERM=linux).
The attached file was created as follows:
1. ls /bin | head -67 | cat -n > file
2. Edit the file and replace line 66 with a blank line.
For terminals with n lines instead of 66, replace "66" and "67" in the above
instructions with n and n+1, respectively.
