Is there any way to look up the first dictionary among others always?
If I don't know an word in the third dictionary and double-clic it, it goes to the third dictionary, not the first one.
It will be great help to find way to change the order of dictionaries.
Thank tou.

It jumps to the same dictionary only if this dictionary has the definition. If not it goes to the first dictionary on the list. I don't recall a setting to turn this behavior off. One option would be to select the word and press Ctrl + C + C. It will open a new tab with the selected word as search term.

Even I found this setting to be a small disturbance. The user have an order set because he/she likes to see defenitions in that order, may be because the quality of defenitions, other preferences etc. So, in any case, it makes more sense (and would have been better) if goldendict always respected that setting.

Another issue is with history, which is related to this. When a user clicks on a word/link from within the article, the history (also the title/popup header) is not updated. This causes other issues as well. Say, when we search a word and click on another word form, then move to a different group, the goldendict shows the original word not the (latest) user clicked/selected wordform. This also is an issue if we typed a wrong spelling and got the spelling suggestion from the hunspell. The user clicks on the correct word, and goes to a different group. Again, the goldendict shows the spelling suggestions.

In these cases, we cannot double click as these are links not plain texts.
