Usability: not clear that help can be scrolled

[Adrien Cordonnier]

I got twice similar questions about partitioning -- once from a computer newbie, second time from someone
who know quite a lot in computing but who is not familiar with Linux installation. Here is the
discussion:
--: "I don't understand how do I partition?"
Me: "Have you read the help?"
--: "Yes but [reading the lines] doesn't help me."
Me: "Read what follows!"
--: "I clicked "Continuer" (in French; might be Next/Follow/Continue) but I got back to the main screen!"

It seems that it is not obvious you can scroll a text-based interface for someone who has never used one.
* The first line of the help should explain you can scroll the help using the arrow
and/or
* the "Next/Follow/Continue" button should be renamed to "Back to main screen" so its action would be
clear.

Thank you for reporting this bug.

Does this occur in Lucid?

Why not test? It would be easy for a bug triager to test this - it doesn't require asking the bug reporter.
