Of course,

as Christian said, gvim don't use external terminal emulator but its
own one and it is not fully functional.

I didn't know that because I never use gvim (I prefer console-vim in
real terminal emulator).

Anyway, in this case, if TERM is set to xterm, then less will think
that terminal is fully functional.

This will not resolve the problem, but if you set TERM to something
like 'dumb', less will function in more compatible way.


Although, would be better solution if gvim let to change the used
terminal emulator. But I figure out that it wouldn't be pssible.

Ok. But try now with 'dumb'.
