Selecting a user dictionary in the preferences and then clicking 'OK' makes that dictionary the default directory (check out the tooltip when mousing over a blank area in the user dictionary list). There is no all-time-default user dictionary--even if it happens to be named "default". Just rename it something other than "default" if you want to avoid confusion.

This is actually not a bug. If you look closely at the image you posted from Sigil Preferences you will see you have made "Bell" the Default dictionary (Note: "default" is just a dictionary name like "Bell". Any dictionary name can be set to be the Default dictioanry. See my attached screenshot of your image.

If I add an additional user dictionary and call it test. I can enable it in those Preferences but I have to make sure that I have not made it the "Default" dictionary.

I can then run your test and it all passes.

So try again but this time make sure Default is set to "default" when you exit Sigil Preferences.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys.

I have to admit that I had completely missed that at the bottom of the dialogue box.

I have just tried it and see that whenever you add a new dictionary that one becomes the default.

Personally I find that counter-intuitive, in my mind the default dictionary should always be 'default' and not change to a user created one.

Perhaps it might be a good idea to make the default dictionary fixed as such - that way the right-click Add To Default Dictionary would function as it reads at all times and add to 'default' irrespective of how many other user created dictionaries there are.

Anyway I will remember that next time.
