Yes! It looks like (at least) rendering ‘description’ doesn't
account for the length of the "description: " prefix itself,
making the first line too long. That confuses less and/or makes
it wrap non-deterministically.
After invoking ‘guix search foo’, name and version are missing,
and:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
description: This package aims to provide a one-stop solution to
requirements for footnotes. It offers: Multiple footnote
+ apparatus superior to that of `manyfoot'. Footnotes can be
formatted in separate paragraphs, or be run into a
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
After scrolling down and then up:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
description: This package aims to provide a one-stop solution to
requirements for footnotes. It offers: Multiple footnoteus
superior to that of `manyfoot'. Footnotes can be formatted in
separate paragraphs, or be run into a
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
(‘footnoteus’). The description ‘shrinks’ by 2 lines, making room
for the name and version fields at the top.
