#166 less doesn't respond to up and down buttons

[Ram Rachum]

I used normal Msysgit for a long time and less worked fine. Now it works, but to scroll I need to press page up and page down, because up and down keys don't work.

Another weird thing is that if I execute clear, it places the caret at (0, 0) but doesn't clear the shell, so all the old text is visible and then everything I type is on top of it.

I don't see such problem with less, it work for me with arrow keys.
Also clear works for me too.

How do I check my current version of msys2 to ensure we're using the same
one? (And which version are you using in which this didn't happen?)

Upgraded to 2.1.2 and now it works! Thank you! This ticket may be closed. (I don't know if I'm allowed to close it, not seeing a button.)
