Date: Thu, 22 Dec 2022 09:56:20 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <864jtnub11.fsf_-_@mail.linkov.net> (raw)
In addition to the below problems mentioned in bug#60101,
the problem occurs in other places too, for example, opening
a package from the package list displays such messages:
Type M-x help-quit to restore previous buffer.
Type M-x help-quit to restore previous buffer, C-v to scroll help.

It's not clear whether the name intended to be help-quick-or-quit
or help-quit-or-quick?
