Does anyone recall which version of Kobo firmware allowed drilldown within the dictionary? In other words, touch a word in your Kobo ebook, the dictionary opens in a corner of the page, then touch a word in the definition of that word, and the dictionary opens full screen, and then you could merrily continue selecting words in the dictionary to look up their definitions - without returning to the book you were reading. This feature was vital to a language learner like me, and seems to have been lost in the last 6 months.

Also, behavior in 3.19 is such that when the dictionary opens full screen, the Kobo "forgets" the language of the book, and defaults always to English. This happens regardless of the default language of the Kobo Glo, and even defaults to English with the English dictionary uninstalled.
