Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: casper
After reaching the main menu on a LiveCD boot, press Esc. The following
GUI appears:
Exiting...
You are leaving the graphical boot menu and
starting the text mode interface.
[OK] [Cancel]
(OK appears to be selected).
Pressing Enter at this moment leaves the user at a prompt with no
apparent way to get back. Cancel would have been the more foolproof
choice.
The mouse is not enabled on this menu, so the user must navigate by
keyboard.
Typing O or o for OK, C or c for Cancel fails to make a selection. Tab
and arrow keys do work, but the button can only be activated by Enter
(and not by Space, as I expected it would).
My issues:
1. This GUI is designed for a pointer, but a pointer is not available to the
user here
2. The GUI is not keyboard friendly
3. The user is dumped at a terse prompt if Enter is pressed
4. This whole area seems unintended, perhaps it is only for developers and
testers. If so, something less obvious than Esc should activate it.
