I just downloaded the ones linked to, made a git archive of the history, and started bisecting. Which was all pointless extra work, since it was in the last release, but whatever. > > I've reported it as a bug in less, but I'm not sure what the reaction > > will be, the less releases seem to be very random. > > Via bug-less@gnu.org? Heh. Another thing I didn't actually find. No, I just emailed Mark Nudelman directly, because that's what the FAQ says to do: "There is a list of known bugs here. If you find a bug that is not in the list, please send email to the author. Describe the bug in as much detail as possible, and I'll do what I can to help resolve the problem." and it doesn't mention any mailing list. > Is this report available online somewhere? It was not all that different from the email to the git list - just giving the trivial test-case and my (limited) bisection result. The data you dug up is much more useful. Linus
