I found that the issue is that some element hiding filters are affecting our own elements we use to highlight elements on the page.

In particular, adding these filters resolves the issue for me:

#@#[style*="block !important"]
#@#div[style*="background"]

Ideally, we would change our approach for highlighting elements so that we are no longer affected by our own filters.
