This is Cygwin 64 on Windows 10 in a VirtualBox VM, cygcheck output attached. It has been a while since I updated Cygwin; as long as it serves my purpose, I generally don't focus on that; it is just a tool I use. Since I did open this thread, of course I need to make sure I am up-to-date. I have now done that and I don't see issues with Cygwin terminal and less, although that is not really where I am focusing. I mostly use xterm windows just because there are several characteristics I like about it. I am still seeing issues with xterm and less, as I stated in my original post. Did I post this in the wrong list? I have not gotten a response since my update. 1) Does your problem also happen even if the text file contains only ASCII chars? 2) What does 'which less' say? 3) What does 'infocmp' say? Most of the files I view have only ASCII text. lhicks@ESG-Win10-1 ~ $ echo $TERM xterm lhicks@ESG-Win10-1 ~ $ which less /usr/bin/less lhicks@ESG-Win10-1 ~ $ infocmp # Reconstructed via infocmp from file: /usr/share/terminfo/78/xterm I should further note that much of the time I am ssh'ed into one of several different Linux machines, so in that case, I would be running less from the Linux machine and displaying in the Cygwin xterm. Hmmm, so now I'm starting to think the combination I have trouble with is an older less on a Linux machine and Cygwin xterm. I don't control what is installed on some of these Linux machines. Do you know if there were known issues with less, for example, the following is one that has significant issues: [appldev3@ebs-app-dev3 HAF]$ less --version less 458 (POSIX regular expressions) Copyright (C) 1984-2012 Mark Nudelman less comes with NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

Hmmm, so now I'm starting to think the combination I have trouble with is an older less on a Linux machine and Cygwin xterm. I don't control what is installed on some of these Linux machines. Do you know if there were known issues with less, for example, the following is one that has significant issues: [appldev3@ebs-app-dev3 HAF]$ less --version less 458 (POSIX regular expressions) Copyright (C) 1984-2012 Mark Nudelman less comes with NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by law.

What does 'echo $TERM' say in your environment with the issue? -- Takashi Yano -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation:https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple

Re: Display text file using less in Cygwin terminal or xterm incorrect when lines are longer than window width
On 2021-08-06 23:28, C Linus Hicks via Cygwin wrote: I have used Cygwin and CygwinX for many years and this problem has persisted for many of those years, I can't remember the last time this worked. > Using vim in an xterm or terminal window displays text in a file properly. The problem with less is easy to reproduce, but there are several different problems: Create a text file with the following characteristics: 1. Several lines are longer then your terminal window is wide, even several times as wide. 2. The file has fewer lines then your terminal window. In this case, when you first open the file with less, assuming all the lines will fit in your window you will see the entire file in the bottom of your window. If you hit the 'g' key, it will jump to the top, but one or more lines at the top will be missing. Works Just Fine For Me! With files as described, and LESS/-OPEN/-CLOSE unset, running /usr/bin/less, the first file is displayed with the end of its bottom line on the bottom line of the window, just above the less status line; pressing Home/End displays start of top line at top, or end of bottom line at bottom of window, "G" displays end of bottom line at bottom of window; no lines or characters missing; subsequent files in same run after :n, displayed with start of top line at top of window; pressing Home/End displays start of top line at top, or end of bottom line at bottom of window, "G" displays end of bottom line at bottom of window; no lines or characters missing. With settings below, first file displayed with start of top line at top of window; pressing Home/End displays start of top line at top, or end of bottom line at bottom of window, "G" displays end of bottom line at bottom of window; no lines or characters missing. If you add more lines to the file but still with fewer lines then lines in your display window, but the number of lines that should be displayed when wrapped is greater than your window, then you will get different behavior. And if your file has more lines than than the window, still different. > I can't find any reports or maybe I just gave up searching because the hits don't address my issue, and using less on my Linux machine doesn't have these problems. I get the same behaviour with no/same settings and no issues under Linux. Is there a setting I am missing, or is this just a bug?
