Using Linux Mint.

Today I upgraded from an ancient Debian/Ubuntu package to 430027d (current master). Built it at my system and installed in ~/.local

I found that my more pager is not working any more:
After stg show of a large patch I get a page of text and the usual "--MORE--" text at the bottom.

Normally, space, enter, and q work (for a page, line, and stopping).
With the newly built stgit program however, it doesn't respond. Typed text appears at the shell.

(I typed 2x enter, and 2x q).
The only way out is to abort with ctl+C.

Processes look as expected:

alberth    36998  0.0  0.0  95848 13212 pts/0    Sl+  16:08   0:00 stg show
alberth    37000  0.0  0.0 132556 11584 pts/0    S+   16:08   0:00 git show --patch --color=always 79f4c49fc9cfe82eef51b
alberth    37001  100  0.0   8556  2516 pts/0    R+   16:08   0:04 /usr/bin/more

I tried other alternatives:

  • FAIL: stg show My PAGER env-var is set to more.
  • FAIL: PAGER=/usr/bin/more stg show
  • ok: stg show | more
  • ok: PAGER=less stg show
  • ok: PAGER=cat stg show
