[Bug 1700944] [NEW] less display is broken when using option to show line numbers

[G.M.]

Public bug reported:

hi,

in my .bashrc I have recently added:
alias less='less -r -N'

Now, msot of the time, when I open a file, less displays the file
starting at line 2 (sometimes even at line 38 or more), with no
possibility to go up in the file. Using "-n <Return>" in less started
with -N does not solve the problem.

As soon as I remove the options (particularly -N) the behaviour is OK
again
