Hi,
The recent change in the behaviour of less(1)

- if (less_is_more && get_quit_at_eof())
+ if (less_is_more || get_quit_at_eof())
no_init = quit_if_one_screen = TRUE;
wonders me a little.
Is this really the desired behaviour?
If so I have a question: how to obtain the former behaviour of the -e
switch, i.e. quit when EOF is hit twice always (thus whether or not
when the file happens to fit on a single page)?
I also have a remark: I think that also the man-page should be updated,
because:
COMPATIBILITY WITH MORE
.....
The -e option works differently. If the -e option is not set, less
behaves as if the -E option were set. If the -e option is set, less
behaves as if the -e and -F options were set.
is no longer the case.
With above change, more-compatibility OR -e implies -F, while above
documents that only more-compatibility AND -e would imply -F.
regards,
