For years I have used right click to look up a word in the dictionary, usually a specific, foreign dictionary. Now I get a set of choices I do not want and not the one I do want. How did this happen? The help screen says that it will bring up the dictionary, but it does not.

Are you getting this list when you right-click on a word:
What happens when you select Lookup? I get this screen that offers several options, so not sure what is missing for you:
The Configure Dictionaries option lets you select the Dictionaries you want and the order can be rearranged.

I was getting a set of icons, none were for the dictionary. Hours later, the dictionary popped up as usual and the icons (persistent for many, many right clicks) have now disappeared. I was on a deadline and needed a French dictionary.
