Discovered that some steps of the install weren't mentioned in the testing list. Wasn't sure if this was a priority so ignored it and carried on with the install.

This is a big problem for programmers. Trying to type in a quote character is a bit strange - you have to press the relevant key _twice_ for the keypress to register. To test for this bug, install ruby-dev and ruby2.3-doc packages and, in a terminal, attempt to type:-<br><br></div><div>ri 'String.+'<br><br></div><div>I think this is a bug but I am not sure where to file it.<br></div><div><br></div><div>HTH,<br><br><br></div><div>Ian<br><br></div><div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div>-- ACCU - Professionalism in programming - <a target="_blank" href="http://www.accu.org">http://www.accu.org</a><br></div>-- My writing - <a target="_blank" href="https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/">https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/</a><br><div>-- Free Software page - <a target="_blank" href="https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/home/free-software">https://sites.google.com/site/ianbruntlett/home/free-software</a><br></div><br> </div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
