Bug: Right-click menu not populating when 'manuscript' is selected

To reproduce:
- Open an English Bible.
- Right-click on a word, and choose 'Manuscript'
- The left-hand side of the menu doesn't populate.
- Open a Greek Bible.
- Right-click on a word and choose 'Selection'
- The left-hand side of the menu does populate.
Expected behaviour:
- Dictionaries with Greek headwords would appear for the Manuscript menu, together with 'Search this resource', 'Power lookup', etc.

Tried a Hebrew word, as I was open to Obadiah 1. Did not get a dictionary selection, but other options populated normally. Should we get dictionaries listed for manuscript? Would they not wait for Lemma?

It's rare that you'd want to use manuscript, but there are occasions when it's useful to use an analytical lexicon instead of a normal lexicon. My point is more that the manuscript line of an RI should behave in the same way as the selected text.

My second-year Greek professor cured me of the desire to use an analytical lexicon—it was an automatic fail for the course [8-|]
Noted that for an English word, the two dictionaries I consulted acted pretty much like an analytical. Right-clicked on sent, and both dictionaries gave me "past and past participle of send." Thus, I am forced to retract my earlier objection and agree with you [:)]

I am able to reproduce this issue and will pass a report on to Development.
