I observe the exact same thing in my parents - it's as if they somehow can't see some things on the screen, or lose the ability to comprehend written text, when it's unexpectedly displayed on a screen. They always fixate on some irrelevant UI element, ignoring the one that's currently important.

Mine used to say "can you make the picture on my screen go away?". The "picture" was always a pop up with very clearly written instructions or questions like "would you like to save before closing?".

So they actually, provably, lost the ability to recognize writing.
