Help screen not much use, has formatting problems

Issue #73 resolved
Peter Urbanec created an issue

The help screen. At the bottom the box with scroll bar has text cut off at the bottom. The "hint" box has a line running through it. While we are on the topic of the help screen, is it supposed to do something more useful, like highlight the corresponding button on the remote? See http://www.beyonwiz.com.au/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=102140#102140

Reproduction steps

Press HELP in LiveTV. Scroll up and down in the list to see hint displayed as described.

    In firmware 20140207, the remote image has been updated to the production remote, including the correct names on the buttons. The "hint" box no longer has a line running through it. The bottom line of text is still cut off.

    The yellow arrow that shows which button to press for the highlighted function in the list is now back, but frequently indicates the wrong button for the function:

    • Help list entry -> button under arrow, the correct button that the arrow should point to.
    • Show format setup -> BACK, there is no button for this function in the production remote. In LiveTV, BACK seems to do the same thing as PREV.
    • Previous channel -> LEFT, perhaps should be CH-, even though both buttons do the same thing.
    • Next channel -> RIGHT, perhaps should be CH+, even though both buttons do the same thing.
    • Enter main menu -> INFO, should point to MENU.
    • List EPG Functions -> Long press of FAV, should be long press of EPG.
    • Show program information -> FAV, should point to OK.
    • Instant record -> REW, should point to REC.
    • Audio options -> PIP, should point to AUDIO.

    This list is not complete, it is only a sample to show the problem. The whole help list needs to be checked and fixed.
