this report has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-utils/+bug/230388 "The content of the "Look up"-field cannot be copied by pressing Ctrl+C, or selecting Copy from the Edit menu. The content can only be copied by right-clicking the selected content, and pressing copy in the pop-up menu. I expect that the selected text is copied, when pressing Ctrl+C, or selecting the Copy option from the Edit menu. To reproduce: start Dictionary, put some text in the "Look up"-field. Select it, and press Ctrl+C, or select Copy from the Edit menu. Try to paste it somewhere. You will notice the content is not copied, and the previous content of the clipboard is still present. Note that the content of the definition field can be copied by Ctrl+C." Thanks!,
Created attachment 115281 [details] [review] Patch to fix Copy and Select All in entry field If the entry field has focus it will copy from the entry field instead of always trying to copy from the definition box. This patch also fixes Select All the same way.
Created attachment 183785 [details] [review] patch to make Ctrl+C and Ctrl+A work in the lookup entry A new version of the patch for Ctrl+A and Ctrl+V to work, updated against the latest development version of gnome-utils.

Pushed, thanks!
