Thank you! Adding that direct call works.

A question:
- the UIManager:close() plus dict_popup: onClose() are two statements versus the single UIManager:sendEvent() statement -- with the proposed changes more widget explicit.

Is there a reason to discourage the sendEvent() usage (which has not presented any issues for this usecase)? i'm guessing the above is more immune to future coding changes or are there other possible semantic reasons?
