It's subtle —I get an outline of the dictionary box. It's cumulative, so if I keep opening the dictionary, more lines are apparent (because the dictionary opens at the top or bottom depending on where the highlight is located).

It's hard to show in pictures, but here's an example.

That sounds like it might be a bug with the new device firmware. Maybe you should report it to Kobo?

Hello !

Request if possible : Make the brightness slider on the display's edge less sensitive (the vertical slider you can use when reading, not the one in the proper brightness menu).

Motivation : On my Libra 2 when reading in bed I either use 4% or 2% brightness, depending on ambiant light. However, I find it very difficult to set the value accurately when sliding on the edge to set the brightness. Most of the time, the smallest increment I can manage is by 3%, and if I try to make even shorter swipes then I'll likely highlight some text instead.
As a result, I often resort to using the proper brightness menu with the +/- 1% buttons.

Side note : I haven't used KoReader in a while (and never on my Libra 2) but IIRC, the slider on the display's edge was less sensitive on it, making it a lot easier to set precise values with it. This leads me to believe it might be possible to fix in Nickel.

P.S : Thank you to everyone involved in making Kobo Patches. They offer massive improvements and make it possible to enjoy Nickel without being frustrated by the lack of customisation.
