On Tahoe 26.1, start the Dictionary app and choose Oxford Dictionary of English and Oxford Thesaurus of English. It doesn't matter if you have
more, but more than one makes the problem more obvious.

Now search for the meaning of the word "Dictionary". At the default
window size[1] the definition doesn't quite fit, so scroll up to see the
text at the bottom.

As you do so the text of the definition completely obscures the buttons "Dictionary" and "Thesaurus" that you need to click to switch between
the two.

The font size of the dictionary text is exactly the same size as the
button font thus allowing them to be lined up so perfectly that neither
of them can be read.

The person who wrote the Dictionary app must have cried when they saw
what LG ws doing to their app.

Yep, that happens here if I resize the window. At the default window size on
my monitor, though, there's no problem or overlap.

You can change the font size from the menu bar - if you can see the icon :-)

Never really looked at it before. The Wikipedia and system integration is pretty neat. The overscrolling is a mess, but you can just resize the window
to get round it.

I haven't upgraded yet, but I wonder if 26.2 released yesterday will get
around this problem? I'm not holding my breath!
