Package: debian-installer
Version: 20070308etch1
Severity: wishlist
If I choose English as the installer language and then specify that my
location is "Other" I get a menu that has subtrees. It seems that I
can expand substrees by hitting "[" -- this is relatively
counter-intuitive and should be at least documented for the user in
the screen. If I hit enter or space the menu is just redrawn. However,
I can expand the subtree if I use mouse and click the arrowhead. If I
double-click the text the the menu is again just redrawn.

You can also expand/collapse the subtrees by using "+" and "-". This is
documented in the Installation Guide.
We are limited in the keyboard shortcuts we can offer to the options offered
by the GTK libraries.
If you choose to use the graphical installer, using the mouse is IMO the
most intuitive option. Any keyboard shortcuts are additional.
As we do not consider this to be an issue I'm closing your bug report.
Thanks for submitting it.
Cheers,
FJP
