hey all,

is anyone else having a problem with the popup dictionary? i use it the most when i'm reading emails in gmail, but almost every time i do, the box that pops up appears almost completely off-screen. i can see that the box is there, but i can't see the translation. frustrating! i can't figure out anything that will fix it - no matter how scrolled up or down i am on the page, i still can't see the whole popup box. is there an easy fix to this? am i doing something wrong?

thanks for any help!

@ken,

Is this gmail? I'll take a look at the positioning code. There may be something throwing the position on the page off.

Thanks,

I'm having a problem with it not properly showing accented characters (tone marks) - any accented characters, even the common acute and grave accents. They pop up as strange control characters like é instead of é. My default character encoding is set to UTF-8, any idea why this is happening?

@tofubreath83,

Which browser and (plugin) version are you using? We can doublecheck on this side.

As far as I could tell the plugin is only available for Firefox, so I'm using Firefox 3.6.12 (I tried it in Flock, as well - no luck).

The plugin version is 1.6.

Thanks!
