This may be caused by a CSS conflict. If it's happening on all sites that you visit, try removing any changes to user.css (if any), and disable any add-ons temporarily to find which one is causing it. You can also try starting from a new Firefox profile (run: firefox -p) to see if RCX works on a clean configuration.
If you're using it on anything other than an HTML document, please read below.
Not all document types are supported. Common ones like HTML, plain text are OK. It may also have problems with some encodings, but the more common UTF-8, Shift-JIS, EUC-JP are OK.
Nope, sorry.
Save it as an HTML (*.html) or "plain" text (*.txt) document, then load it in Firefox.
Or paste the text here -- textarea.htm. Try saving this file in your desktop for easier access.
Yes, when enabled (and only when enabled), rcx's dictionary may use up a lot of memory.
The page may expand if there is not enough screen space for the popup, then shrink back when the popup is closed. Yes, this can cause some annoying side-effects like text shifting and scrollbars appearing and disappearing.
This can happen if a word is separated by HTML elements. For example, "<b>W</b>ORD" (WORD) is seen as two separate pieces of text. To get around this, highlight the entire text, then press Alt+Delete (default key for the LookupBar).
It seems to be what Firefox is returning... <shrug> (any ideas?)
In Firefox, go to Tools:Addons:Rikaichan, click the Options button. Set "Adjust Document Size" to No.
Send an email to this address. Please indicate the version that you're using, whether you're using Windows, OSX, etc., links to example sites where the problem occurs, and any screenshots that may be helpful. Sorry, I can't guarantee a response to all emails (especially when I'm in a cranky mood ;) ).
