>Release: NetBSD-1.4_BETA more(1) src of 04/22/1999
>Environment:
System: NetBSD hithlum.unicast.com 1.4A NetBSD 1.4A (HITHLUM) #4: Thu Apr 22 11:13:38 EDT 1999 jwise@hithlum.unicast.com:/home/src-1.4/sys/arch/i386/compile/HITHLUM i386
>Description:
When paging text through more(1), such as when viewing man pages, the prompt
informing the user how far through the file they are is not being erased
properly, and instead is scrolled up the screen. A ^L redraw fixes the
display, but more scrolling re-introduces the problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ man ls
>Fix:
Not sure, and I don't have time to look at this today. This _really_ needs to
be fixed for 1.4, though, or we'll look really bad whenever someone tries to
view a man page.
