Reproduction steps that work for me:
1. emacs -Q --eval '(info "(info)Top")'
2. M->
3. C-n
The (info)Top node on my system has a next node ("(info)Getting
Started"), which pure ``n'' and (Info-next) take me to, but none of the
in-buffer navigation commands (including <PageUp>/<PageDown>) do.
However, I think this is a good thing. Flipping between pages
accidentally like this can and does confuse folk who are unfamiliar with
how nodes work.
I feel as though the standalone info viewer is one of the most important
things a new GNU user would run into, and something they would run into
quite soon, due to it being referenced in all help2man'd manuals, and as
such, I feel like it's important to get an experience as close as
possible to what the person completely new to GNU would expect.
Thanks, have a wonderful evening.
