Description Alexander Larsson 2001-11-26 21:23:50 UTC
I moved this here from the redhat bugtracker at
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=51697

Description of Problem:
'gdict' asked to show definitions stops on the first dictionary.
Neither 'kdict', nor a command line 'dict', suffer from the same
affliction.

I have 'localhost' configured as a dict server, bunch of dictionaries
and clients directed accordingly.  For example for a word "basic"
five definitions should be found (in Webster, WorldNet 1.7, Jargon,
foldoc and VERA).  'gdict' stops on the first one which happens
to be (in my configuration?) a chemical meaning from Webster.
Similarly with "font" four definitions should be found with two
different ones in Webster plus in WN and foldoc.  This is not
the result.

When asked to show a definition from a specific dictionary, instead
of "all", then gdict does not have any problems and shows _both_
"font" definitions from Webster; but picking up explicitely
dictionaries from "Settings->Preferences" and clicking on "Apply"
grows old pretty quick.
