Funny behavior in 11.0.4 when switching dictionaries

I was following along with the latest podcast #116 and had opened up a dictionary via the "text" link in the info pane. It opened up my default dictionary; Erdmans Dictionary.

 

It automatically added "Matthew*Gospel of" in the search box above the dictionary. I used the "drop down" in the pane to switch to Holman's Bible dictionary and hit ENTER to display the new search results.

 

So far so good, so I used the same drop down to switch back to Erdmans and when I hit ENTER, the drop down for entries came up as if Matthew wasn't actually IN Erdmans and it was looking for the search term.

 

It appears that it happens because "Titles" is what is being searched in Holmans and when you switch to Erdmans it doesn't have a title called "Matthew" but it DOES have an ENTRY called Matthew and if I switch to ENTRY then it will find the entry called "Matthew * Gospel of"

 

For what it's worth, when you do the same thing but switch to Easton's Bible Dictionary it says that there is no entry named "Matthew * Gospel of" would I like to do a flex search.

 

So it appears that it should realize to switch from "Title" to "Entry" when necessary (and it does from Erdmans to Holman but not the other way around)

 

Not very seamless to say the least.
