RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

RHEL 9 installer Help screenshot
Description of problem:
Once you hit Help in the RHEL 9 installer, there's no clear way (if any) to exit the help and return to the installation)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rhel-baseos-9.0-x86_64-dvd.iso
How reproducible:
Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run the installer
2. Click "Help"
3. Can't exit Help.
Actual results:
Can't exit help. The Help screen is a full screen dialog, so it has no "X" button the way a floating Help window would.
Expected results:
A clear way to exit help.
Additional info:
I made this "HIGH" because you are basically forced to reboot to exit help, which means loosing partitioning and install selections. As bad as a crash, basically.
Recommend: making Help windows floating instead of borderless/full screen.
This is probably what was intended. This way the user can see both Help and installer screen, and read one while typing into the other.
Also, under the "hamburger" menu, an "Exit Help" option would be good.
Perhaps too, these keyboard shortcuts could exit the Help window: ESC, ALT-F4, etc.
Attached is a screenshot showing the Help screen with no apparent way out.
