Maybe the behavior is wrong - but if the problem is that it is _still
selected_ (i.e. hilight goes away when you select something else), it's
not something that can be solved with anything to do with visual
attributes only.
That was why I was asking for clarification whether it is _still
selected_, or just _still hilighted_.
I wasn't able to view the video or run st at the time when you posted
the video... now I've run st and confirmed that the problem is that it
is _still selected_. I can work on a patch to fix this today.
This really has nothing to do with the visual attribute, it's that the
logic for removing the selection when its content changes (whether by
erasing or by text being printed within it) is broken or missing.
