Long-press in the corners of the screen prevents use of the dictionary

I configured all four corners of my Kindle’s screen to perform actions when long-pressed. However, I noticed that when I try to open the dictionary by tapping on a word near one of these corners, KOReader triggers the configured action instead of showing the dictionary pop-up.
In the example video, the bottom-left corner is set to toggle night mode on long press. But when I try to look up a word near that corner, it toggles night mode instead of opening the dictionary.

Kindle model: Paperwhite 12th generation (PW6)
KOReader version nightly: 2025.04-143

Do you want to make the corner zone smaller?

Yes!
I managed to change the tap zone in the advanced settings so that it's the way I want it. I don't know if these are the best values, but it seems to be working well. These are the values I used:
Code:
DTAP_ZONE_BOTTOM_LEFT
h = 0.075
w = 0.075
y = 0.955

DTAP_ZONE_BOTTOM_RIGHT
h = 0.075
w = 0.075
x = 0.955
y = 0.955

DTAP_ZONE_TOP_LEFT
h = 0.05
w = 0.05
x = 0
y = 0

DTAP_ZONE_TOP_RIGHT
h = 0.05
w = 0.05
x = 0.95
y = 0

There's also a toggle 'Ignore long-press on corners', which will disable the long-press on corner gestures while toggled on. You can assign a gesture to it.
