Pry in jruby not able to paginate

Question

I'm using pry-rails with jRuby 1.7.5(1.9.3p392) with rails 3.2.9. Whenever I'm in pry and it outputs more than one page(e.g.: when I do help) and has to put a page-break I will be stuck, the end of the screen looks like this:

<page break> --- Press enter to continue ( q<enter> to break ) --- <page break>
^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^M^C^C[2013-10-31 21:46:20] ERROR Interrupt: Interrupt
    /Users/macbook/.rbenv/versions/jruby-1.7.5/lib/ruby/gems/shared/gems/pry-0.9.12.2-java/lib/pry/pry_class.rb:103:in `load_traps'
^C^C^C[2013-10-31 21:46:22] ERROR Interrupt: Interrupt
    /Users/macbook/.rbenv/versions/jruby-1.7.5/lib/ruby/gems/shared/gems/pry-0.9.12.2-java/lib/pry/pry_class.rb:103:in `load_traps'

I won't be able to get out from pry with q or any other keys. When I do ctrl-c, it will print more ERROR Interrupt. The only way out is force closing the tab or ctrl-Z, which is even uglier. Is this a bug or am I doing it wrong? Thanks.

You can work around this by turning off paging.

Pry.pager = nil
