Hmm... can't help there. I don't quite understand.

Do you mean that when you add terms, it automatically selects the first one as the one to which the term is added? Hmm... if this does happen, it doesn't bother me, because I always add terms to the first glossary. I use the second and third glossaries only for reference.

To add terms to the glossary:
1. Select the source term, press Ctrl+Alt+T
2. Select the target term, press Ctrl+Alt+T
3. Edit the entry and optionally select to which glossary you want to add it.

To insert glossary items into the txt:
1. Select the highlighted term using Ctrl+Alt+leftarrow and rightarrow.
2. Press Ctrl+Alt+downarrow to insert it.
OR:
1. Type the first few letters of the source text of the glossary item.
2. Press Tab, and its translation will be inserted into the target field.
