(actually, this problem happens for me on RTs as well)
What were you trying to do?
Search using /
What's wrong:
Upon completing the search, more displays one line short of a
screenful, instead of a full screenful of text. Hitting ^L will
refresh the screen with a full screenful.
What should have happened:
When the search completes, a full screenful should be displayed.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
"a screenful is displayed" in "man more":
i/expr Search for the i-th occurrence of the regular expression
expr. If there are less than i occurrences of expr, and the
input is a file (rather than a pipe), then the position in
the file remains unchanged. Otherwise, a screenful is
displayed, starting two lines before the place where the
expression was found. The user's erase and kill characters
may be used to edit the regular expression. Erasing back
past the first column cancels the search command. of the
last regular expression entered.
(Incidentally, the start of the last sentence of that paragraph was
truncated in the man pages, exactly as shown, and needs fixing, too.)
