Only shows character-per-character definition

[nicolas-raoul]

When hovering the mouse over 日本 the add-on should show the definition of 日本 not the definition of 日

This happens on all websites I have tried (Nikkei, Google, Gmail).

I have the default options right after installing the addon:

By the way, the last 3 reviews are about this problem:

There are multiple modes for Rikaichan hover and lookup. Check if you have all of them activated. If so, you can press shift to alternate between them.

I have the default settings, I believe, as I haven't touched any configuration since I installed the add-on. I had Rikaichan/Rikaikun/Perapera but I guess these used separate settings. I add my options to the issue report above, do you know which one is wrong and what value it should have instead? Thanks!

You need to add dictionary, default is only Kanji. But when I download and tried to add Japanese-English dictionary got this error Error: TypeError: summary is null

[nicolas-raoul]

Ah indeed thanks @markus07! I get this error too, for the 3 dictionaries I tried: The problem might be in this function: https://github.com/Kalamandea/Rikaichan/blob/dd4c14012c1204fcff443d0ab9accaaae920d701/ext/bg/js/databaseRikai.js#L66 According to StackOverflow:

"TypeError: [x] is null" - [...] the most common reason a JavaScript developer will get this is that they are trying to assign an event handler to a DOM element, but the DOM element hasn't been created yet.

I have the same issue with dictionary imports, so I've opened it as a separate issue.

I was able to import dictionaries the last time I tried, which was a week or two ago. As @markus07 says, it fixes the problem @nicolas-raoul reported and Rikaichan works more-or-less the same way it used to.

When #3 is fixed, the present problem should be fixed too.
