Briefly describe the bug
MacOS Chrome feature of "Look Up 'xxxxx'" when right-clicking a word resolves to the wrong word than the one's highlighted.
It only happens on Chrome browser, tested on Safari without issue.
Using the Macbook trackpad's Force Touch and right-clicking on a word directly (without highlighting it first) works fine.
