You have tried to use two features at once: highlighting and dictionaries. Poor software doesn't like that and Kobo firmware is very poorly implemented. Anyway, here is a work-around: If you want to look up "stupid" in the dicitionary and "stupid" is inside a highlighted block of text, select not just "stupid" but include also the subsequent words into the selection so that the end of your selection is outside the highlighted block (this is the easy part and shouldn't be a problem). Now drag the circle at the end of your selection to the end of "stupid". It seems this must be done quickly without lingering and may need a bit of practice. Now the balloon dictionary should pop up.
