9,091 PointsYes. My problem is that I can't go back to console after the file so I had to get out of the workspace to type ruby hello.rb Is there anywhere I can report this problem??

Jim Hoskins
Treehouse Guest TeacherHi everybody, I'm trying to understand the problem so I can make it better. You should be able to click the terminal or the text editor to focus on it and begin using it. Is that not working?
We had an unrelated problem with the console 2 weeks ago that made it one character wide on windows that was fixed.
If you can, please leave a description of what you are trying to do, what is going wrong, and what browser and operating system you are using.
Thanks

23,287 PointsJim Hoskins what's happening is that we can't change focus back and forth between the console and the text editor. If the focus is on the console, when I click in the text editor, nothing happens. When I type it continues to enter characters into the console and vice versa.

Hanah Yendler
3,625 PointsI too am having trouble in that the console is just not accepting any letters typed on my keyboard other than s, a, e, and w. Any files however that I create are just fine.

4,105 PointsI can't go back to typing in my file once I have used the console a couple of times. Just like some of the others here above.
The answer doesn't seem te be posted here.
What is going on?

Dazeran Zamri
5,992 PointsStill experiencing this problem. Quite often that I can't go back and forth between text editor and console. View/Hide console does the trick but its getting annoying to do that every time. Is there an absolute fix for this yet?
