With all possible due respect, I pretty strongly disagree with the
"opinion" status.  Everything I placed in the bug description is fact.

This is an enhancement / feature request, not an opinion.

Title:
  Not obvious how to select "OK" after doing a diff during "Package
  configuration"  of do-release-upgrade

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager-core

  Upgrading from 9.10 to 10.04 beta 2

  $ sudo do-release-upgrade -m desktop -d

  everything was going normally until it asked if I wanted to keep the
  previous grub configuration.  I selected "show diff", and it displayed
  a diff, and I could scroll up and down the diff with arrow keys in the
  terminal window.  But there were no instructions on how to select the
  "OK".  One would assume that 'q', or <enter> would do it, but they do
  not.  Nor could I select "OK" with a mouse click.

  There was no help that I could find (i.e., 'h' or '?').
  I finally figured out that <tab> takes you to the OK option.   It would be good if there was no "context" during this diff... up/down arrows would scroll, and <enter> would select OK.  Or put instructions on the screen (hit tab to select "OK").
