There are two problems I could spot out in handling certain dictionaries.
1. When a dictionary contains the same word as separated headwords (separated by meanings), KOreader can sjow only the last one. Example: if you serach for the word "bang", the dictionary can contain 3 headwords: bang1, bang2, bhang. You will NEVER see the first two meanings, because KOreader can show only the last one.
Another dictionary contains 2 headwords for "bang". One is "bang" itself (containing all meaning of "bang") and also a phrase "slap bang". KOreader will show only the "slap bang", but never the first one.
May I ask for improving directory handling by showing all headwords in these cases?
2. In some dictionaries the line breaks are disregarded, and the text would be more difficult to read. Probably there is a type of line break which KOreader doesn't interpret as a new line.
