12-Jan-2026 update, changed highlighting in comment (Reader and Pro), please revert

Hello,

The recent 12-Jan-2026 seems to have changed how highlighting works in the comment tool.

It used to be possible to highlight in a blank area , for example under a block of text or music stave, then add text notes. It would also straighten out the drawn highlighter line, which was useful.

Since the update, highlight trys to find adjacent text or objects and selects them, often incorrectly. It no longer highlights a length of text or blank space.

I find it far less useful now than it was. Please revert to how it used to behave prior to the recent update.

I can (sort of) do what I want using the draw tool, setting colour and opacity to get a similar effect, but it no longer straigtens out the drawn line. It also means setting the draw tool to do what I want everytime I use it.

Thanks, Colin.
