The second problem _is_ in the graphical frontend. It turns out that
the value of a question is changed even if <GoBack> is selected. In
this respect it behaves different from the regular frontend.
Cloning your report to cdebconf-gtk-udeb for this issue.


This issue may a bit more subtle than this: the frontend may just be setting a proper default for the question. However, this is still not desired behavior when GoBack is used.

Ok, i've already seen this before and even filed a BR (#395489).
For single SELECT and MULTISELECT questions, which are all dislayed using a GtkTreeView, the question's value gets set in debconf database every time the user clicks/moves on a row.

As a result, the last activated option is always made default for SELECT questions, no matter the user pressed <Back>.

This was considered a minor bug, so never spent time in fixing it: should i do it now ?

cheers
