I can't, since I don't have such an installation and can't really
find the time right now.

I'v tried LC_ALL=C and unsetting all $LESS* variables, tried most
and less and more, and in all cases, I get the same escape
sequences. My setup is pretty standard, I use urxvt and my
xresources specify some fonts, but nothing terminal-related. I don't
override termcap.

I can reproduce the problem with gnome-terminal, rxvt, and xterm.

I am aware that this is unlikely an ipython bug, although I don't
see it anywhere else. Maybe someone has a pointer how I can find out
what's going wrong on my system? Seems like it should be
straight-forward.
