Hello

1. I added a private glossary to Matecat, and then I went to a segment and I added two terms that have no matches in that segment. However, whenever I go back to that segment, the two glossary items that I added are shown as matches, even though the words do not actually in that segment's source test. What gives?

In this case I added "computer" and "cancel" to the glossary by entering these terms into the editing fields in the glossary tab.

2. I also went to a segment that does not contain the word "violation" in the source text, then I added a glossary item with "violation" as the source text, and then I went to a segment that DOES contain the word "violation" in the source text, but Matecat doesn't show me the glossary match. I have checked, the private resource is enabled in the settings.

Or, is this not how Matecat's glossary is supposed to work?

3. Added: I created an Excel file in the correct glossary format, then used "Import glossary" to add it to my glossary. Then I went to segments with those terms in the source text, but no: other glossary matches from the client's official glossary appear, but not my own glossary entries.
