Goldendict: Content of dictionary can't be selected and copy occasionally. (Mac version)

Created on 30 May 2016  路  7Comments  路  Source: goldendict/goldendict

Content of dictionary can't be selected and copy after using Goldendict for a while.
When this problem occurs, I could reopen Goldendict than the content could be selected and copy again for one time.

It may have something to do with the trackpad. That's what probably breaks it. I have found a way to have it work again by toying with the trackpad a little, like zooming, going to app expose / mission control and back and so on. It has never failed me so far.

I have the same issue

Same here.

I can make a screen recording and show you what happens, if it can help you solve this. Having to close and reopen Goldendict so often is annoying.

I've faced with the same problem. I installed "GoldenDict 1.5.0-RC2-21-gdb6f369" and want to copy content to my flash card program, but seems after a while working with dictionary, content can not be selectable.

Thanks "giorgiopagnoni". I'll try!

Trackpad settings -> "Point & Click" -> select "Tap to click" checkbox.
This solved the problem for me.

Thanks to giorgiopagnoni for the hint.

Upd: The solution is unstable. Occasionally it stops working. And starts working again after GD restart.
