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

Warm regards,

Brian

    Some thoughts / questions:

    1. Is this at random or does clicking on a particular word always produce the same result?
    2. Normally, double-clicking on a word will produce an English dictionary lookup - are you sure you are only clicking once?
    3. 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
    4. What version of Logos software are you using? On Windows or Mac?

    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.
