I'm only trying to investigate & understand why that is that one box does - what I under is "paging" of a short output - whereas other two do _not_ that.
The _but_ here is - obviously - that between that 1 box VS 2 other boxes, there must be a difference(s) somewhere... but ! where?

I guess I’m not trying to walk you through debugging and diagnostics at this point because this doesn’t seem like a bug.  So yes, I’ve have been unable to completely understand the issue because it is not being presented in a complete manner.  It would be better to pick a single one that is “wrong”, fully show and describe what you are doing and what you expect to happen (and ideally why), and basically treat it like a bug report.  Asking us to compare to behaviors that aren’t related to PostgreSQL version is hit-or-miss.  On that note, what is the version or versions of the psql client involved here?

Since psql is a CLI not mentioning which terminal and/or shells are in use, or OS, is a major omission here.
