I am seeing a strange new behaviour when using multiple dictionaries and firmware v4.19.14123. When switching dictionaries after looking up a word, the last dictionary used would be remembered when looking up the next word. Now it will not remember the last used dictionary until you exit the book and open it again. Below are steps to reproduce the problem:
  1. Open a book.
  2. Look up a word.
  3. Change to another dictionary using the dropdown.
  4. Exit the dictionary.
  5. Look up the word again. See that the last used dictionary hasn't been remembered.
  6. Exit the book.
  7. Open the book again.
  8. Look up the word again. See that the last used dictionary is now used (and will be in all subsequent lookups).

It seems that the act of changing the active dictionary registers the last used dictionary for the book in the database, but this last used dictionary field is no longer checked before every word that is looked up, but only once when the book is opened instead. I believe this has changed in this new firmware version.

Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?
Yes, I can reproduce it.
