--- Comment #1 from Brenda Granados <[email protected]> ---
I have confirmed this behavior. Here is how to see the issue:

1. In a new Writer document, begin typing: "This is text to modify"
2. Highlight the word "modify" using your mouse.
3. Click on the highlight feature on the toolbar. This should turn the
highlight feature on.
4. After highlighting the word "modify", click the highlight tool, or press
ESC.
5. Use spacebar, then keep typing.

Expected Result: Subsequent text is not highlighted. Highlight is "off".
Actual Result: Highlighting continues. Highlight is still "active".

At this point, you will have to use your mouse to highlight the new text, and
click the Highlight menu dropdown next to the Highlight feature, and select no
fill. Then you can continue to type without the highlight.

Another way to avoid this is to make sure there is a space entered after the
word "modify", and use your mouse to highlight everything but the space. Then
highlight works as expected.

According to the LibreOffice Help about highlighting, Highlight "Applies the
current highlight color to the background of a text selection.". So the
behavior might be intentional, because text that extends after "modify" might
be considered part of the selection.  But I think the text selection should
only be considered the actual current selection.

Version: 4.0.1.0+ (Build ID: 3e8af168ca227529b752abb9c7aecc42be4a229)
Platform: Ubuntu Linux x64
