I thought you may have been using a customized look-up function rather thatn the default selection (forced by Apple). Are you?

Then I noticed you and Wiggo are both from different countries, so I thought it may be that you have different dictionaries selected that may be causing the problem. Which ones do you use??

Sorry for all the questions, but it would be nice to figure this out so you don't have this issue.
Hm, strange that you couldn't reproduce. So:
- My phone is usually locked in portrait mode, so I didn't bother locking the orientation in Marvin. It's set to 'allow device rotation'.
- I didn't set up any customized look-up. Just going with what's there by default.
- I live in Switzerland. My phone's language is set to English, locale settings like date and time formatting are set to Switzerland.

No problem about all the question, I appreciate your effort and wanting to help very much.

Actually, while looking stuff up in Marvin to answer your questions I might have solved the problem. The lockups are gone. All I did was to do a lookup, expand the lookup overlay window to its' full height and scroll all the way down where it says "Manage dictionaries". I clicked on that, which took me to the iPhone dictionary settings. Didn't change anything there, just went back to Marvin. There I could then deselect the previously marked text and continue using the app. Since then, I can do normal lookups, no need to repeat the process. Hm, strange. And I say that as somebody who works in IT and also occasionally writes code. Oh, well
