 There is a bug in the latest version (Version 5.2.3), it's throwing:

 ReferenceError: jQuery is not defined

 All over the admin.

 To reproduce:

 - Setup a web server with Ubuntu, MySQL 5.7, PHP 7.2 and nginx 1.10 using
 a off-the-shelf wordpress config.
 - wget https://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz, extract
 - chown -R www-data:www-data <wordpress install folder> and chmod -R g+rw
 <wordpress install folder>
 - Copy wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php
 - Edit wp-config.php and edit ONLY DB_NAME, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, and
 DB_HOST with the credentials for a MySQL user that has full access to the
 DB in question
 - Visit site URL
 - Select 'English', provide a username, password
 - Login to new installation admin, notice that there are SEVEN fatal JS
 errors due to jQuery not defined issue

 I discovered this on a live site because it broke the 'create page'
 functionality after an update. After installing a fresh copy with a fresh
 database I discovered that this is a bug in WordPress rather than a
 configuration issue.
