When piping command output into less, I'll scroll to the bottom of the output using the mouse and I'll find less gets stuck in forward scrolling, preventing me from scrolling back through output. This is the same behaviour as pressing FF. Is there a way to unlock less from forward scroll?

Reproduce: docker-compose up | less followed by pressing FF.
