I don't quite know where to report this bug, but if you select a string of text that includes a substring that is identical to another substring in the same paragraph (but not currently selected), then requesting a highlight will actually highlight the FIRST substring in the paragraph and then the remainder of your selected text rather than your original (full) selection.
Example:
.... [1] the fox jumped over the [1] box.... [2] the fox jumped over the fence [3] even though the fence was tall. [3][2]
If you select the string between [2] and request a highlight, it will actually highlight the string between [1], and then the string between [3].
It was the first highlight I tried. http://www.springbyexample.org/examples/index.html I tried to highlight Spring by Example, the second one, opened with another browser, and the first one was highlighted instead.

Q: do you encounter this (ie. page with lots of repeated identical substrings) often?
