Fixing a bug in the `text()` function. @heathrturnr.fosstodon.org.ap.brid.gy uses this one as an example of how to fix a bug in the R Dev Container in her talk for #LatinR last week.
The talk covers other aspects of contributing to R too.

The ability to specify colours with a 3-digit hex (e.g. "#12A" as equivalent to "#1122AA"). It was the first patch I was involved with, so it's especially dear to me! It's also makes changes to C code.

Ha, thanks! I also had the pit in my stomach preparing the talk. 😅 Agree with the many caveats, and I tried really hard not get into the weeds and keep the ideas high level. @edavidaja.com was an incredible sounding board as I was iterating. I'm really glad to hear it was overall successful! 😃
