I believe this is working as expected. I'm assuming your command prompt was half way down the page when you started less, and it just starts writing out the content at the line you were on. I see the exact same behaviour in XTerm, Gnome Terminal, and Mintty.

The fact that the old conhost shell is displaying the output at the top of the page was a bug that has since been fixed (PR #10843). It was originally resetting the cursor position to the top left whenever an application switched to the alternate buffer (which less is doing), but that was a mistake.

Yea, this is now working by design. gnome-terminal vs Terminal
