The character depends deterministically on the file contents, i.e. invoking less on the same file always gives the same character. Interestingly, cat-ing the file to a pipe to less gives the same character as well. Expected Results: less displays a screenful of the file contents or the beginning of the output of the command piped to it.

I fixed this by upgrading to vte-0.8.13-1 from rawhide
This kinda makes it hard to read man pages. However a simple fix is to: export LESS=-c I currently have this line in my .bashrc as a workaround.
charlesrazzell: Please check if updating to the version of vte in Raw Hide fixes this or not, as I'm fairly certain that this bug is already fixed.
vte-0.8.13-1 fixes this bug for me.
Today's (9/3/02) up2date fixed the problem for me.
