The following reply was made to PR misc/20813; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Matthew Emmerton <matt@gsicomp.on.ca> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, liber@128.com.tw Cc: Subject: Re: misc/20813: use "|more" will lost one line of datas Date: Sat, 26 Aug 2000 20:19:40 -0400 (EDT) I've seen the following variants: 1) show lines 1-24 on screen 1, show lines 24-47 on screen 2, repeating the last line from the first screen on the second. This is the behaviour that the user *wants* to experience, but isn't. I usually see this when I'm running an ansi session in a VT100 emulator. 2) show lines 1-24 on screen 1, show lines 25-48 on screen 2. This is standard page-at-a-time with no repeats or loss. This is what I normally see in a properly set-upsession, either via telnet or at the console. 3) show lines 1-24 on screen 1, show lines 26-49 on screen 2. This *skips* line 25, which I usually see on the console after setting VT100 emulation (when it should be ansi.) The proper method is 2). Any other variants are a result of improper terminal settings. -- Matthew Emmerton || matt@gsicomp.on.ca GSI Computer Services || P: +1 (800) 217-5409 Technical Director || F: +1 (519) 335-6584 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
