Since updating to Big Sur 11.3.1 the "lookup" function stopped working
Instead of using a 3-finger tap, I have to select the word then use the 3-finger tap in order to show the definition - this is across the board in Safari and all Apps
Is this a known bug? Workaround?
Thank you
Mac Pro, macOS 11.3
All one has to do is hover the pointer over the target word and perform the three-finger tap. This depends on that trackpad optional setting to be enabled, as it is not on by default. The alternative keyboard shortcut is control+command+d.
Word lookup here - just use two fingers tap and secondary menu appeasr with various option including Lookup
I brought up this post in my 2014 MacBook Air running macOS 11.3.1. I hovered over a word and performed the three-finger tap with the desired lookup result. No highlighting a word was necessary. I don't use a trackpad with my M1 mini running the same version of Big Sur, but I expect no difference in the result.
Yes, that is exactly what I have had it set at for the past year
Since upgrading to Big Sur 11.3.1, I now have to highlight a word before the 3-finger tap in order for it to look up the word
It seems to work one time and then, thereafter, it doe snot - did you try a few different words on the same page?
Mine is consistent with different words.
3-finger tap lookup not working unless I select the word first Big Sur 11.3.1
