sys-apps/less-549 breaks mouse copy/paste operation from the first time less is invoked until the terminal (gnome-terminal in my case) is restarted. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: With sys-apps/less-548 or earlier, the mouse can be used to copy/paste from within less.
In my case it sends strange codes into the command line while I'm trying to select some text in the terminal using mouse.
(In reply to iq180 from comment #1) > In my case it sends strange codes into the command line Yes, that happens for me too.

Unfortunately I'm very busy with private life right now so I'd appreciate if someone could report this to upstream.

I sent an email to the maintainer (that seems to be the preferred method for bug reports). I'll add an upstream bug link when I get an update.
