Yes, these are 2 tabs I see. If I misspell something I get a pop-up
that says:
"Error while looking up definition"
You are right, I must have been confused. When I checked in FC5 I
only see the two tabs.
I noticed that if you go to add another dictionary, there is
a place to set the strategy, but the dropdown box is empty,
and there does not appear to be any way to change an existing
dictionary.
