Comment 1 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2020-03-12 13:51:51 UTC 
Proposed as a Blocker for 32-final by Fedora user lruzicka using the blocker tracking app because:

 Violates:  Installer help

Any element in the installer interface(s) which is clearly intended to display 'help' text must do so correctly when activated.

We really should automate this freakin' test...
