using dictionary with pdf and others related stuffs

Hi everybody

I have just tested the "dictionary lookup" functionality with a pdf file. First, it is rather difficult to select a word properly. Either only one letter is highlighted, or all the line... When by chance the word seems correctly highlighted, sometimes the dictionary gives me the definition of only a part of the word, if it means something. For example, I select "function" and it gives me the definition of "unction". Very funny... Sometimes, the word of which definition is given is completely different from the one which is selected. Example for "natural", it gives me the definition of "atypical". Not funny at all ;-)

Is that a known bug?

Moreover, where can I find a english-french dictionary (that can be used while reading pdf files)? I search in the forum, but I didn't find the answer.

Generally I found very difficult to control the highlighting of a word, or of a group of words, for example to add an annotation.

In the same spirit I do not understand at all how to use the "mark" tool. I can mark a word, or a sentence, but when I want to mark another one, the previous mark disappears... o_O. So it completely useless

Thank you for your help
