firstboot-19.9-1.el7.noarch showing the "Forward" button
I have firstboot-19.9-1.el7.noarch and don't see the "Finish" button, but a "Forward" button when the "Yes, I'd like to register now" option is ticked.
So I guess it has been fixed already ?

I just tested it with the GA build and the "Finish" text was still there. Not sure what the difference is?

Weird - I've reinstalled the Firstboot package and can see the "Finish" button too. Anyway, now with a reproducer I can finally work on fixing it. :) To fix this "Finish" was replaced with "Done" on the next button
Some background for this decision:
By default Firstboot displays the "Forward" label on the next-button
if there are any modules following the current module.
Once it reaches the last module, it currently tries to decide
if it should show keep the "Forward" label or switch to the
"Finish" label due to the given screen being the last.
Unfortunately, some multi-page modules, such as Subscription Manager
do not provide any feedback to Firstboot if the given page is the last page.
One Subscription Manager page even has a combo box that decides if the module quits or continues to the next page and there is no feedback provided about
this.
The lack of feedback is not an issue if such a module is not the last
one as all the labels would just be "Forward", but if the module is the
last one as the only one, Firstboot does not have enough information
to decide which label to use.
Given the lack of any other option, just set the next button label to
"Done" for all pages on the last (or possibly only) Firstboot module.
Button now labeled DONE. Moving to VERIFIED.

Created attachment 907452 [details] firstboot registration screen Description of problem: A button at the bottom of the screen has misleading text on the "Subscription Management Registration" screen. If the user selects "Yes, I'd like to register now.", the button should say "Next" instead of "Finish". The button should only say "Finish" if the user selects "No, I'd prefer to register at a later time." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 7.0 How reproducible: Very Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a RHEL 7 system 2. When the firstboot screen appears, click "Next" on the kdump screen 3. Select "Yes" on the registration screen. Actual results: The button to continue says "Finish" but there are really additional screens. Expected results: The button should change to "Next" if "Yes" is selected. Additional info: This is a usability/UI continuity issue.
