lookup uses wrong dictionary #90

I'm using aard 1.6.7, and have wikipedia en and wordnet installed. When I search for an item and click on it, all works well. However, when I click on a link within an article, the entry in wordnet is displayed, instead of the wikipedia article. Example: lookup "wikipedia". in the article, click on "glyphs". On my version, the word net entry is displayed, instead of the wikipedia entry.

Aard looks up a word in multiple dictionaries. You may switch with "arrow to right" button in the toolbar.

Following a link is doing a lookup, giving preference to the dictionary from which link is clicked. If there's no exact match in this dictionary (which means the link is incorrect) then best match lookup is performed across all dictionaries. In this case, "glyphs" link probably refers to "glyfs" instead of "Glyfs". Best match lookup finds "glyphs" in Wordnet first since it's exact match and in Wikipedia second, since it is not as a good a match (matches only if case is ignored). As @ildar said, you can navigate to the next matched article using button in the toolbar (or bottom right corner if you're on Android 2)
