Hi,

I used to be able to highlight consistently throughout my document by double clicking on the highlighter button.

However, I am unable to do so anymore. I will now have to click on the highlighter button everytime I would like to highlight.

Is anyone having this problem too? and how can I solve this?

Thank you very much!
