Okay, so this bug report is indeed mostly about making sure that the highlight
is more visible then. Thanks for confirming!

Dolphin should indeed be usable both for children as well as for cognitively,
motorically, or visually impaired users, if possible. So there are trade-offs
between various target user groups that need to be considered. I definitely
want Dolphin to work great for abled and expert users as well, but we should
also do our best to not needlessly exclude minorities from securely and
effectively using Dolphin.
