Repeated and consistent Highlight

Community Beginner ,
Feb 27, 2017 Feb 27, 2017

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!

That screenshot was from a previous version, 5 years ago...

To achieve it now click the thumb pin icon in the toolbar on the left.
