[Cc to the Debian bug 989029, which I reported last year:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=989029
I'm now reporting it upstream since it still occurs with "info"
from Texinfo 7.0.]
The info manual says:
<DEL> ('scroll-backward')
<PREVIOUS>
Shift the text in this window down. The inverse of
'scroll-forward'. If you are at the start of a node, <DEL> takes
you to the "previous" node, so that you can read an entire manual
from finish to start by repeating <DEL>. The default scroll size
can be changed by invoking the
('scroll-backward-page-only-set-window') command with a numeric
argument.
[...]
But at least with info from Texinfo 6.7 to 7.0, this doesn't behave
like that in the gnuplot manual, e.g. /usr/share/info/gnuplot.info.gz
from the gnuplot-doc 5.4.4+dfsg1-2 Debian package. Its master menu
contains:
* gnuplot::
* plotting_styles::
* Commands::
* Terminal_types::
* Bugs::
* Concept_Index::
* Command_Index::
* Options_Index::
* Function_Index::
* Terminal_Index::
Go to "Bugs". This gives

******
Please e-mail bug reports to the gnuplot-bugs mailing list or upload the
report to the gnuplot web site on SourceForge. Please give complete
information on the version of gnuplot you are using and, if possible, a
test script that demonstrates the bug. See 'seeking-assistance'.
* Menu:
* known_limitations::
* External_libraries::
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Then do a scroll-backward (with the Backspace or PageUp key) or a
prev-line (with the up arrow key). This gives:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
5.2 External libraries

instead of going to Terminal_types.
Going to the previous node gives successively:
