I've taken this opportunity to try and improve upon the previous beta5 version of this patch. I've tested briefly on a Glo, H2O and GloHD. Due to other circumstances I'm not in a position to test on my KA1 right now but I have no reason to believe it won't work.

The 2 images below show the dictionary pop-up widget, on a Kobo Glo, before and after enabling this new beta8 patch.

In beta5, if long-pressing on a word located slightly above the middle of the screen, it was possible for the dictionary pop-up widget to completely cover the mini-menu containing the Highlight/Search/Share icons.

With beta8, the mini-menu may still be partially covered (see second image) but hopefully you can see enough of it to be able to tap-activate it.

Please also note that in firmware v4.4.9298 Kobo seem to have fixed the minor annoyance where the left-hand edge of the numbered dictionary items was shaved off (more on some models than others).
Which file is this patch supposed to be in?
