Problems detecting words in hiragana

[Wend1go]

I noticed that 10ten has some issues with Hiragana like in this sentence from an NHK headline:
アメリカ　トランプさんがまた大統領になることになった
("nina" - "naruko" instead of "ninaru")
Maybe it would be possible to extend or shrink the selection using the mouse wheel by one letter per turn while holding shift or another key.

Maybe related to #1969

Hi! Thanks for the bug report!

Is the issue that 10ten doesn't recognize になる? If so, I think that's just because the source dictionary (JMdict) doesn't have an entry for になる. It only contains the verb なる without the に particle.

When looking up from な onwards it will show なるこ before なる(成る) because it's longer and it doesn't do any word segmentation, but just looks up from where the cursor is.

Does that make sense or have I misunderstood?

[Wend1go]

Yes, this makes sense.
So in order to get 10ten to notice "ninaru", the underlying dictionary needs to be updated.

[birtles]

Yes, that's right. However, I don't think JMdict (the source) is in the habit of listing combinations of particles and verbs (since the particle will depend on the preceding context).
