Dictionary scroll bars

You'll probably find this odd, but my Dictionary .app reverted back to NO scroll bars yesterday. I couldn't figure it out at all. I have had my scroll bars back for about a month until yesterday. So I did a little investigating and my Wiki account said I joined on May 25. Then I re-read the instructions ("remember to select the "Remember Me" option") and realized that Wiki only keeps you logged in for 30 days when you select that setting. Therefore, Wiki must have logged me out, and with it my settings. Looks like we'll all have to do this every 30 days. Strange.

Tried the "solution" first using firefox, to no avail; tried again using Safari--after clearing the cache--and I was able to get my dictionary scroll bars back, at least for the next 30 days. Hope Apple and/or Wikipedia fix this bug soon.

Does this problem still appear on 10.6.4?

Yes I had this problem the other day but I found a fix so you don't have to worry about logging in all the time.

Here is a link to the post Apple's Dictionary/Wikipedia Bug!

Thanks for the hint!

The WikipediaDataURL workaround is working from me (see link above)

No it causes Dictionary to crash. Editing Info.plist is probably a bad thing.

Yes, I had applied the fix under 10.6.3 and it worked fine. But now with 10.6.4, the bug is back and this time, the fix doesn't work.

Thanks, that worked great, but it may not be a fix for those of nervous disposition!
