problem with term/pager - emacs 24.2.1 on FreeBSD

[Joseph Mingrone]

Hello all;

I run term (more precisely multi-term) inside of emacs 24.2.1 installed from the FreeBSD port.  It works quite well, but one problem that I haven't been able to solve is this.  When I page output the text scrolls two lines too far.  For example, if I do: $ man ls, I don't see the first two lines even with an M-v.  After I exit the pager, I can do a C-c C-j and scroll back and see that they were there, but I just can't get at them while the pager is running.

The problem seems independent of the shell I use (I tested with zsh and tcsh) or the pager (I tested with less and more).

Thanks for any suggestions you might have,

Joseph

I discovered the problem. I have the following in my ~/.emacs:
(custom-set-faces '(mode-line ((t (:background "black" :foreground
"white" :box (:line-width 1 :color "white")))))). If I remove the
:box (:line-width 1 :color "white") part, the pager works fine.

Is there something wrong with that line?

Thanks,

Joseph
