Unclear The finding does not say which situation makes the picker show "cancel" rather than "exit".

What

The theme picker (the screen for choosing colours and syntax highlighting) shows a hint when you press a key once, telling you to press it again. That hint now ends with either "cancel" or "exit". Which word appears depends on a new internal flag, so it can read "Press X again to cancel".

Why

The last word of the hint tells you what the second key press will do, so it is worth reading before you press again.
