I wonder if this behavior have always been there?

I have not yet updated to the newest firmware, so I can confirm that the series of button presses you're describing do work in the version just prior to 796. But I had not discovered that button sequence for escaping consistently (from the dictionary) that you described, so thank you!
I much prefer the method you described, rather than using the button along the left edge of the unit, because:
1) My right-hand fingers are already poised around the front button assembly, since that's what I just used to look up a definition.
2) My cover is not folded back, as a book light is clipped to its spine ("hinged" area, so-to-speak) at the top.
3) My black cover doesn't have enough of a cutaway above the left-edge buttons to allow easy access.
4) I have to use the little finger(nail) of my left hand to get in there and press the proper left-edge button effectively. This means I have to stop supporting the unit with my left hand, change my right hand's position to support the unit, etc., etc., and then change hand positions back again to resume reading. It's awkward and inefficient for me (though not for everyone, of course, each person having different positions, comfort levels, and habits).
So thanks again for what is to me a useful tip!
