Atleast in WebKit browsers during the installation with the new installer as of 1.17-svn pressing Enter in any form element brings me back to the previous step. Visually it makes sense for the Back-button to be on the left hand side, unfortunately browsers by default submit to the closest input[type=submit] button. I see in the source code a way to prevent this, namely a hidden duplicate of the Continue-button before the Back-button (hidden as in, style="display:none"). However, as smart as browsers are, pressing Enter doesn't submit to the next submitting element, but to the next 'visible' submitting element. We need to either put the continue button to the left for real, and drop the hidden-duplicate thing. Or find a way to visually hide that duplicate button while still fooling browsers it's there.
I've done the latter in r77123. It now no longer applies inline styling display:none but "visibility:hidden;overflow:hidden;width:1px;margin:0". the visibility hides it visually, but still keeps the box model. So for that reason the width has been forced to a single pixel and overflow to hidden. And becuase of CSS rules applying to the submit buttons in the Installer the magin has been reset to 0 as well. This has been tested in WebKit browsers (Safari 5 on Mac, Chrome 2 on Windows)
