12:47 AM Ruby Bug #14251: String insert changing value of other string

Because if you do
~~~ ruby
foo = 'aaa'
bar = foo
bar = bar + 'ccc' #here references of foo doesn't changes
puts foo #aaa
pubs bar #aaaccc
~~~
As I can see, ruby only for string as reference when I call string methods, like:... ricardovsilva (Ricardo Silva)

10:29 PM Ruby Bug #14251 (Rejected): String insert changing value of other string

~~~ ruby
foo = 'abc'
bar = foo
bar.insert(1, d)
puts foo 'adbc'
puts bar 'adbc'
~~~
The example above should only affect bar variable. It leads to an error by programmer.
A bypass that I found is to do:
~~~ ruby
foo = '... ricardovsilva (Ricardo Silva)
