I'm seeing the same problem. I've attached a test file (created by the
attached script.. the line number and length are prefixed on each line).
When I do 'less' on this file, in an 80x30 xterm (details below), then hit
'j' to scroll downwards, things are fine until line 026 (the first long line
that didn't fit on the initial screen) is supposed to be exposed, at which
point 'j' does not appear to do anything. Hitting it again shows me
'arliecharliecharliecharliecharliecharliecharlie', which appears to be the 47
characters of line 026 (which is 127 characters long) that would have wrapped
around from that line. Hitting 'j' again scrolls everything up and displays
line 027 normally. Hitting C-l to refresh the screen scrolls everything up a
line, providing the space to show both lines of 027 plus line 027 properly.
Other long lines in the file experience the same problem.
less: 391-1
xterm: 6.8.2.dfsg.1-8
libncurses5: 5.4-9

I don't have 'localepurge' installed on this machine, although I do on others.
