(I think this is a bug, but maybe it's the intented behaviour, so I'll ask a 
question)

I have two functions as defined below:

>>> def f1(x, y, w , h):
...     region = Region(x, y, w, h)
...     image = capture(region)
...     region.find(Pattern(image).similar(0.99))
...
>>> def f2(x, y, w, h):
...     region = Region(x, y, w, h)
...     image = capture(region)
...     region.highlight() #Highlight the region to show where's being 
searched, should be harmless?
...     try:
...         region.find(Pattern(image).similar(0.99))
...     except:
...         raise
...     finally:
...         region.highlight() #turn off highlight even if there's a nasty 
failure
...

The function 'f1' always passes. The function 'f2' only sometimes passes. The 
following are some examples showing how 'f2' passes and fails:

CALL: f2(0, 0, 50, 50) | RESULT: fail
CALL: f2(0, 10, 50, 50) | RESULT: fail
CALL: f2(10, 0, 50, 50) | RESULT: fail
CALL: f2(10, 10, 50, 50) | RESULT: pass

The problem seems to be that the highlight overlays the Region when the Region 
borders the screen. Personally I think that this is incorrect behaviour.

I understand that Region.highlight() may affect Find() operations *in general*, 
but I do not think that it should affect Find() operations within the Region. 
It makes more sense for Region.highlight() to always be externally bounding, 
even if that means part of the highlight being offscreen.

The only problem I can see with my proposed functionality is that using 
SCREEN.highlight() would display nothing. (though, I think it's more important 
for Region.highlight() to behave consistently)

What do you think: Bug? Or is this how things are supposed to work?

NOTE: 'f2' never works when used in the Sikulix-IDE, as the Sikulix-IDE 
transposes the highlighted region
