Hi,
we are using grub2 with authentication enabled and multiple submenus.
Unfortunately it is not possible to return to a previous menu with ESC without
triggering a superuser password prompt. This is not the desired behavior in
my opinion.
I attached a patch to this email, which removes the password prompt when
pressing escape.
Thank you very much in advance

Subject: [PATCH] grub: fix broken authorization behavior when pressing ESC
This change removes a superfluous authorization request,
which prevented the user from navigating backwards through
the menu tree using the ESC Key.
