I only use TransOver for German, and the Autodetect is not very good, as sometimes it will use other languages as the source language. Having to select German in the drop down menu all the time is somewhat annoying and time consuming. I would like a option to fix the source language.

Also, when clicking go, if you move your mouse by mistake, the translation will disappear without your intention. This is a more annoying behaviour. Maybe there could be at least a 5s timeout to disappear.

What about defaulting to the previously selected "from"?

This is consistent with how transover popup behaves in general (when you click/point to work). So this must be annoying in all cases then?

This is now implemented.

I don't have experience with other similar tools. My issue was that any small mouse movement outside would close what I was reading. My delay idea would be like: "if you move outside, you have x seconds to move it back or it will close".
