Works Just Fine For Me!
This is Cygwin 64 on Windows 10 in a VirtualBox VM, cygcheck output attached.
It has been a while since I updated Cygwin; as long as it serves my purpose, I
generally don't focus
on that; it is just a tool I use.
Since I did open this thread, of course I need to make sure I am up-to-date. I
have now done that
and I don't see issues with Cygwin terminal and less, although that is not
really where I am
focusing. I mostly use xterm windows just because there are several
characteristics I like about it.
I am still seeing issues with xterm and less, as I stated in my original post.
Did I post this in the wrong list? I have not gotten a response since my update.
1) Does your problem also happen even if the text file contains only
ASCII chars?
2) What does 'which less' say?
3) What does 'infocmp' say?
Most of the files I view have only ASCII text.
lhicks@ESG-Win10-1 ~
$ echo $TERM
xterm
lhicks@ESG-Win10-1 ~
$ which less
/usr/bin/less
lhicks@ESG-Win10-1 ~
$ infocmp
# Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/78/xterm
I should further note that much of the time I am ssh'ed into one of several
different Linux
machines, so in that case, I would be running less from the Linux machine and
displaying in the
Cygwin xterm.
Hmmm, so now I'm starting to think the combination I have trouble with is an
older less on a Linux
machine and Cygwin xterm. I don't control what is installed on some of these
Linux machines. Do you
know if there were known issues with less, for example, the following is one
that has significant
issues:
[appldev3@ebs-app-dev3 HAF]$ less --version
less 458 (POSIX regular expressions)

Then, could you please let us know the result of infocmp in the Linux
machine you run the less obove in cygwin xterm?
CentOS 7? xterm 295? ncurses 5.9?
