If I search for "community," then dictionary displays the correct
definition. However, if I type in the word "comunity," then dictionary
displays two divs. The left div displays an error message and the right div
(which is larger and is supposed to display suggested words) displays
nothing. When I search for "community" again, the definition appears in the
left div and the cases of "community" listed above are displayed in the
suggested words.
I don't know if you call it a div... :)
