The Gnome dictionary applet won't let any text be typed in on its window on the panel on Ubuntu Gutsy.

[lgc]

The Gnome dictionary applet doesn't accept any text entries on Ubuntu Gutsy. It used to work well until Ubuntu 7.04.

I confirm this bug.
With compiz disabled dictionary applet works normally.
With compiz enabled doesn't accept any text entries.

It's unusable.

This is fixed in hardy and in a backport we made for gutsy.

Good work!

Thanks.

It's seems it has been fixed.
Now I can use it.

[Sergio Zanchetta (primes2h)]

I meant in Gutsy. :-)

Sergio, where do I get this backport fix for Gutsy you mentioned?
I have been dying to get my dictionary applet back! : )

System->Administration->Software Sources

Click on the Updates tab, make sure "Unsupported updates (gutsy-backports)" is enabled.

[Sergio Zanchetta (primes2h)]

Exactly :-)

Awesome, thanks guys! Now I have my dictionary applet back =D

But what about the word history? It's a really useful feature and it needn't
go away, in my opinion.

That is not a compiz problem.
