You have to give more detail of an alternative algorithm rather than
saying, "just consider the File: lines". (The word "just" implies
that what you are asking someone to do is easy and simple, which it
may not be.)

You only get the relation "last descendant" by looking at the menus.
And according to the menu of complete_list_of_terminals, Bugs is a
decendant of complete_list_of_terminals.
As described in backward_move_node_structure in info/session.c,
the process followed is:
/* Otherwise, go to 'Prev' node and go down the last entry
in the menus as far as possible. */
which is exactly what has happened here.
