Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I have added a dictionary lookup to my Gnome panel. When I type a word in and press enter, it pops up a box with results on that word. If I type Ctrl+F, it opens a find bar at the bottom of that box.
However, this leaves very little space in the window to view the results, and I can't get rid of it.
Ctrl+F again does nothing. If I hit escape while focus is on the text box of the find tool, it closes the whole box, and when I open it again, it won't allow me to click back into that text box.

Ubuntu 7.04, "Dictionary 2.18.0", Gnome 2.18.1
