Man pages don't show total lines or scrolling percentage by default

[john liptrot]

Description;

'Man pages' do not immediately show the total number of lines or your scrolling percentage. This can be frustrating as I've found myself scrolling through hundreds of lines, only to find out there are thousands in total.

Expected outcome;

1. Open Terminal.

2. Type 'Man nft' (as an example).

3. The bottom line should read 'Manual page nft(8) line 1/3347 1% (press h for help or q to quit)'.

Actual outcome;

1. Open Terminal.

2. Type 'Man nft'.

3. The bottom line of the immediate screen presented to you reads 'Manual page nft(8) line 1 (press h for help or q to quit)'.

4. Fifteen scrolls of the mouse wheel and you can now read 'Manual page nft(8) line 61 (press h for help or q to quit)'. No percentage or total lines indicated.

5. I have no idea how far through the man page I am, so I press the 'end' button. I can now see 'Manual page nft(8) line 3315/3347 (END) (press h for help or q to quit)'. The terminal now shows me the total number of lines, but ONLY once I reach the final line, which is counter-intuitive.

6. Now press the 'home' button to return to the start and scroll 15 times, as you did before. The line now reads 'Manual page nft(8) line 61/3347 2% (press h for help or q to quit)'. This is the expected behaviour by default.
