[Bug 585288] [NEW] Comma splice on p.18

 

Public bug reported:

Rev. 788
Ch. 1, § "Enter your details", p.18 (PDF p.20)
Type: grammar

Manual has a comma splice (before "however"):
You will be able to continue the installation process regardless of your password strength, however, for security reasons it is best to choose a strong one.

This could be corrected with a semicolon or full stop, but "but" would keep it single-sentenced:
You will be able to continue the installation process regardless of your password strength, but for security reasons it is best to choose a strong one.
