I'm not sure why the Debian developers chose to change the behavior of
the 'more' command, but the Debian release 12 has the annoying habit,
upon reaching end of the file, of displaying extra empty lines to fill a
terminal window, then inserting the text:
(END)
at the end of file. This requires entering an unnecessary and annoying
carriage return to restore the window to the terminal screen prompt.
One time usage is not bad, but if you use 'more' often, as I do, this
behavior is a repeating waste of time. I hope the developers will revert
to the traditional behavior.
