I love having an OSX embedded dictionary but boy-o-boy, I hate how easily it appears I trigger it, highlighting words for a right-click function other than "look it up in the dictionary"
Dammit, I just wanted to right click "Web search" that term. Now.. I have to remember how to make this dictionary popover disappear, and keep the selection.
The two ways I know to trigger it is hovering over a word and pressing ctrl-cmd-d, or force-touching the trackpad. So I suppose you are accidentally pushing too hard so it triggers the force-touch?
If you don't like it, you can disable the force touch in the trackpad settings. It seems you can also set it to be three-finger-tap on the touchpad.
This is amazingly useful and thank you kind stranger. Force touching comes to us all with fumbly aged tremor-hands.
