Sorry for the late response.  Do you have a simple recipe demonstrating
the problem?  I can't reproduce any problem with "less", which seems to
display fine (including the top line) under term mode.

I can't reproduce the problem now either; I am running a later version of emacs (24.1.1) than when I reported the bug.

Please close the bug report.

Thank you

Kind regards
