Using dictionary inside tap zone?
I just tried looking up a word that happened to be inside a tap zone, and no matter what I tried, I could not ring up the dictionary and only ever activated the specified gesture for that zone. Is there are way to still access words inside tap zones, whether for dictionary lookup or highlighting?

By default long-press on various corners is set to pass-through for exactly that reason.

If you do want a corner to do something on long-press, you should normally still be able to select the text there by starting the selection from a little further away. Then you'd probably have to edit the lookup to remove some extra words. It might be easier to just type it.

D'Oh! Thanks for the cluestick - I'll change the long press gesture to a double tap.
