iWriter: dictionary lookup fails, looks up a single letter

In some situations, double-clicking on a word to look it up in the iWriter will only look up the first letter of that word. For example, you double-click on "eagle", but the word "e" is looked up.

 

You will need administrator rights to apply the following patch.

 

Make sure the OALD9 application and iWriter are closed before following these instructions.

 

Download controller.js from:
