Dictionary keeps popping up

In the NASB and ESV I use the reverse interlinear feature at the bottom of the pane. I often click on a word in the english text so that the greek word will be highlighted in the reverse interlinear. About 25% of the time, Logos sputters for about 5 seconds and then presents an Oxford dictionary entry for the word that I clicked on (once).

Is this a known problem? Is there a work around? Or, am I doing something wrong?

TIA, Brian

Hi Brian

About 25% of the time, Logos sputters for about 5 seconds and then presents an Oxford dictionary entry for the word that I clicked on (once).

Some thoughts / questions:

Is this at random or does clicking on a particular word always produce the same result?
Normally, double-clicking on a word will produce an English dictionary lookup - are you sure you are only clicking once?
Does this dictionary entry appear in a separate panel or do you have the Information pane open and its appearing there? What you are describing is correct behaviour for the information pane - but it should happen for every word
What version of Logos software are you using? On Windows or Mac?

Is there a work around?

An alternative is using visual filter highlighting of Greek morphology in English and Greek so can see range of verbal expression in context.

Noticed John 4 has aorist, imperfect, present, perfect, and pluperfect verb tenses with imperative, indicative, infinitive, participle, and subjunctive moods.

Wiki has => http://wiki.logos.com/Extended_Tips_for_Highlighting_and_Visual_Filters#Examples_of_visual_filters

Caveat: opening resource(s) with many visual filters can take awhile to initially show simultaneous search results.

Keep Smiling [:)]
