Bug report

Bug description:

This was recently introduced by #146382.

I believe this rather lead to a bad user experience, see #146382 (comment). The screen will be cleared regardless on the text size, even if it's small, like small docstrings. Then you have to scroll up terminal to see recent output and so on.

IMO, it's better to follow git's defaults, which uses --quit-if-one-screen option to display small texts "inline". We could too.

CPython main branch
