Highlighting selected text disappears when mouse button is released

Question

I was highlighting my document and all was fine. Then I went to highlight a section and the highlight wouldn't show up. I tried mulitple things. The best I could get was that it highlights while the mouse is pressed down and as soon as I let go it disappears. If I reopen the document in a read only setting it shows the highlight worked but when i go to editing the highlight is no visible.
