I usually do this by selecting one of the affected nets, which highlights the whole net. Then just click on a short segment of the other net, which will focus and highlight that net. The segment that you click will remain in the original color but show drag handles; the rest of the net will be highlighted. Good luck finding the short - I find this to be a very useful method of looking for it. I had to do this just last week. Took me about one minute to find the solder bridge under a microscope this way, because I only had about 3 places to look after a quick look at the board with the nets highlighted.
