Description Zbigniew Jędrzejewski-Szmek 2013-10-10 18:40:02 UTC 
Description of problem:
The list is long, and I wanted to select a layout starting with "P". I'd expect "P" to jump to layouts starting with "P".

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda installer from http://download.fedoraproject.org/pbu/fedora/linux/development/20/x86_64/os/ (sorry I don't see a version number anywhere, anaconda --version or anaconda --help starts the installation.)

It filters the list down to layouts containing the entered string. This way it is easier to e.g. find all US layouts. I cannot fix this, trying to match the entered string with the start of layout description would complicate other use cases. So the way it works now is intentional and thus not a bug.

OK, I retested this now, and indeed it works like you say. I guess I was confused by the fact that the string needs to be entered in the box below, and it is not enough to click on the list and start typing... But that's a minor issue.

Let me just say that the current Anaconda interface is *very* pleasant to use.
