Popup dictionary gets in the way of the following text.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have Chrome 6.0.422.0

I have a few problems that are not bugs but simply design problems, I think. 

1. the dictionary popup lingers too long and blocks the text to the right 
making it difficult to continue reading
* popup could be to the top or bottom for this to be easier.
* popup linger time should be reduced
2. minor opacity should be added to the dictionary popup

Also, I think it might be better if these were customizable in the options 
screen.

Hi Derek, thanks for the input.

No to opacity- I tried and it looked awful.

Maybe no to adjustable popup time ... I think sometimes we want a long view, 
sometimes we want a short, it depends on the amount of concentration we have 
for the 
entry being displayed.
I think instead having a popup that disappears as soon as you mouse-off is a 
better 
idea. I will program that.

Popup being underneath is a good idea ... I think I tried this once though and 
wasn't 
happy with the result. Could you make a mockup?

Best regards,

Akira

Thanks for getting back to me,
Well, I agree that making the popup disappear on mouse off would basically 
alleviate 
the problem. Also, I understand not making these customizable as it might just 
clog 
the system and complicate things.

As for dictionary placement, I do not know what you mean specifically by 
mockup. 
Perhaps you wanted a picture displaying possible look and feel. I attached a 
couple 
possibilities that I made quickly. Also, I thought perhaps it could be equally 
functional if placed in a particular location on the page (ie. always in the 
top 
right corner, etc.)

Cheers

Thanks Derek,
  that's exactly what a mock-up is. I think I'll go with the first one, and if it's 
easy I'll make it flip to be on top if the text is near the bottom of the 
browser 
window.

Cheers,

Akira

Programmed pop-ups to disappear on "mouseleave". Layout change yet to be done.

Layout changed to position underneath the <ruby>. Will appear in next version.
