This issue has been plaguing me for some time. It may be specific to Linux, but since the two applications involved are both multi-platform, simple testing by someone with access to a Windows box would be required to determine that.
The two applications are Artha (a spelling/thesaurus utility) and Leo. Install Artha and assign an unused system wide shortcut key. Test it using text from a webpage, text from a word processor or text from another text editor. Create a node in Leo and dump in some text. Select a word using the Shift-Arrow Key (left or right arrow is up to you). Hit the keyboard shortcut to bring up Artha. The intended outcome is that the selected word is loaded into the search box in Artha and you are presented with the definition window. It doesn't happen in Leo. The latest contents of the clipboard are loaded instead. Now try it using the mouse to select the text, again starting at the beginning or the end of the word. Hit the Artha hotkey again and enjoy the definition as it works exactly as intended. Leo 5.1-final, build 20150707053226, Tue Jul 7 05:32:26 CDT 2015 Git repo info: branch = master, commit = deb525c0d455 Python 2.7.6, PyQt version 4.8.6 linux2 Artha works as intended with every other text/wordprocessing/web browsing application on my workstation no matter how I select the word, so I am assuming it is a Leo issue, but as I began, I could be wrong.
