rounded highlight edges are problematic
When highlighting, a recent update made it so that the edges of the highlight are rounded, rather than straight up and down. This is problematic when using highlighting to make comments for a compositor to do something with text in a proof, because it is not crystal clear which characters the highlight is actually applied to.
For (just one) example, if I highlight a word within parentheses to mark for the compositor to make it italic, it looks like the parentheses are also highlighted when they are not.
The attached screenshot with the blue selection shows what the selection looks like, and what the actual highlight looks like is shown in the other screenshot.
Please fix the highlighting so it doesn't bleed over into adjacent characters.

I'm very curious about how the "discussion of this issue" that Arvind mentioned went down at Adobe... I can't see any reason to keep it from the user point of view. It can't be that difficult to correct, but I guess it's just annoying enough for laziness to win out.

I just think it looks ugly and less tidy. I don't understand why they would release this "upgrade"... I can't imagine any benefit to it except an arguably more "natural" look...? It would be great if upgrades included actually useful things like the ability to split scanned pages, rather than cosmetic changes that actually look worse, and evidently also cause editing problems...
