I currently have the free Websters ditionary installed but it does not work the way I want it to.

When I have the dictionary opened and do a lookup the results are displayed just fine - for ex. 'except' gives me a list of 5 choices.

The strange thing is that when I leave the dictionary and try to lookup words within normal books, I get a "no result" error - 'except' gives me no results at all all of a sudden.

It proves that the lookup modes would work in general, but only where it is not needed

Any

s?

PS: I tried the GCIDE-dict aswell, same behaviour.
