[R-sig-Fedora] Scrolling in Help System Doesn't Work

UsRs,

When accessing help by typing, for example,
> ?read.table
the up and down keys do no longer scroll the help page. The page-up and
page-down keys also do not work any longer. I can scroll down by
pressing the d key, but I cannot scroll up by pressing the b key
(although it should work according to the text displayed when you press
the h key).

I'm not sure whether this question is Fedora-specific, but since this
list is most close to my configuration I first would like to know if
this can be replicated (or maybe I'm missing something obvious).

Below is more information on my computer.

Thanks,
Michael
