Adding flashcards in Live OCR: Dictionary selection is not honored

状元
When I recognize a word in Live OCR of beta 36, tap Pause, switch to a dictionary of my choice (here, the KEY dictionary), and add a new card for that word, Pleco 4.0 beta 36 jumps back to the first dictionary (HanDeDict) and saves the card using that dictionary, when it should have linked the card to the KEY dictionary.

I attach a screen recording of it happening. Thanks.

Hello Mike,

In beta 42, Pleco saves the card using the right dictionary, but the Pop-up definition bubble jumps to another dictionary after adding the card; the Pop-up definition should remain at "NHD". Would you like me to send you my flashcard database? I attach a screen recording. (Flashcard added using NHD dictionary)

This still seems to be stubbornly hard to reproduce, has only happened a handful of times and we can't figure out why - have you found anything that makes it happen consistently?

It's happened repeatedly and without fail half an hour ago, but now it seems to be behaving just fine also. I recommend varying the dictionary order. For example, I would try using a small dictionary in the first position and then a large one further down in the list.

Just a very wild guess, perhaps it's a memory leak which is causing memory shortages? I was in Pleco for about half an hour before it started happening. A memory leak would of course be something that adds up over time. Or perhaps there's some stack that keeps growing over time and starts to cause some malfunction?

The few times I've seen it happen did not match up with that theory, unfortunately - seems to be more-or-less random.
