Description of problem: Current /usr/bin/lesspipe.sh contains a default case of | *) | case "$1" in | ... | *) DECOMPRESSOR="cat" ;; | esac This breaks a lot of less's functions. E.g. the 'v' key does not work anymore, or the 'F' key does not display new data. I suggest to remove this line and/or unset the DECOMPRESSOR instead of. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): less-378-2 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. less /var/log/messages 2. Press 'v' 3.
