Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

seen on feisty, 2.17.91-0ubuntu1

- do something until the slider of the scrollbar only covers part of the area
- the slider is on the bottom
- call less <some file> (go up and down with g / G)
- the slider is either:
  - not visible at all (if you did just press q in less)
  - somewhere else (top, middle, sometimes at the bottom)

- if the slider is mispositioned, Shift-PgUp jumps to the start to the
  buffer, not one page up.
