Hi abs62,
While eagerly testing and waiting my aard files to finish indexing - thanks again for FTS! - I'd like to tackle a rather cosmetic, yet annoying issue.

I have been lately using the option "Select word by single click". However, clicks on "white" areas without text produce nagging heavy blocks of "empty highlights". I tried to figure out the reasons for this looking into the INSPECT window, but to no avail.

I have found, however, that DSL lines ending with "[\n]" behave in a normal way! What do you recommend?

Thanks for your time.
Regards

PS. There appears to be no EDIT dictionary option in the right-click context menu in the last GD build 358? Is it a decision or just an omission?

Just space is enough.
It is QWebKit behaviour, GD don't touch it.

No, this option still exist. It may be removed from menu if config file don't contains "editDictionaryCommandLine" parameter or dictionary is not editable.

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. Sorry, my mistake!

Just space is enough.

Hi again,
Leaving a space in front of the end of line mark does indeed do the trick; some text editors automatically remove it when saving the file.

However, the DSL closing indent tag [/m] seems to be another culprit as well. So now I just comment the [/m] tags out: {{[/m]}}. If I keep using the "single click selection" option, this "quick and dirty" work-around helps me steer clear of empty space blocks while clicking to get the focus.
Any better ideas for the time being?

All my best

If possible, can you upload a full distribution version?

Many Thanks!

Thanks Abs62.
Unfortunately, this test version cannot load epwing format dictionaries on my PC (Windows 8.1), with the following error message,

EB library use local 8-bit encoding to handle path. If path to dictionary contains symbols which can't be encoded in 8-bit system locale such error will be occured. Try to move dictionary to other folder with only ASCII symbols in path.

Great. It works. Here are some comparative pictures showing the differences in goldendict and ebwin for epwing formation dictionaries(However, it seems that the Gaiji file is not well supported yet):

In ebwin:
