Make /less/ not exit on G command

I am currently migrating an application from Solaris to Linux. Most of the time I am happy with the change, but using LESS command became a real pain.

I have managed to make LESS keep an output to the console by using:

less -X <file>

command. But when I use G (shift + g) command to scroll to the end of the file, less does the scroll and quits to the console immediately. How to prevent that?
