PRS-T1 Dictionary window hides text is being highlighted

Yoths · 11-10-2011, 07:26 AM

If I want to highlight a phrase at the bottom of the page, after long-pressing a word the dicitionary window appears and hides the highlighting area, so you can not move the bounding boxes.
Can I close or move the dicitionary window?

The best workaround is to not lift your finger so that you directly transition from the long press to highlighting. That way you can highlight what you want before the dictionary window appears. However you need to make sure it's correct since you can't edit it with the bars afterwards because of the dictionary.

Change the font size so that what you want to look up is at the top of the page instead of the bottom.

I have the same problem as I use this for university texts. I use BkwormGrls workaround but it would still be good to have the option to turn it off.

I am looking forward to when this device can be properly rooted and I can use ezPDFreader or something like that.
