There's another serious usability problem here, which is that the pager ability is not being used correctly. Consider the \df+ tg_* query I used as example for another bug report. psql says that it is 27 rows; I have my window taller than that (47 lines right now), yet the output is actually *a lot* longer than 27 rows (598 lines), due to the embedded newlines in the functions source. Yet the pager is not used, and so the whole thing scrolls past.
Also: someone else said that if the pager mode is "auto", then the pager should be used not only when the output is _longer_ than the screen, but also if it's _wider_.
