I am using the version of fxri that comes with the single-download  
Windows distribution Ruby-186-25.

Initially, it works fine; I can click on an entry in the left pane and  
view the documentation the top right pane. I can also enter ruby code  
into the lower right pane and have it executed.

Apparently I do something – I don’t know what – and from then on,  
every time I click on an item in the left pane it is copied into the  
lower pane and the top pane does not change.

At this point, there seems to be nothing to do except close fxri and  
start over, which takes a few minues.

I’ll presume you didn’t have a small type, and go ahead and mention that  
Ruby-186-26-RC2 is available for download. I’ve always used that version  
and I’ve never had any problems; check it out.
