When you double-click a highlighted part to add an annotation, which tool do
you have selected? If you have the highlighter tool enabled while
double-clicking a highlight, and you slightly move your mouse during the double
click (e.g. due to imprecision, or perhaps tremors, ticks, etc.), you will
actually create a new highlight and immediately edit its annotation. Normally,
after you create a highlight, Okular switches from the highlight tool to the
browse tool, so that this doesn't happen, but if you reflexively always enable
the highlight tool and also don't keep your mouse still while adding
annotations, that could very well explain what's going on. (I'm of course not
trying to say that *you* are doing something wrong, but just hypothesising
about what could be happening.)

If that's not the case, or if you're not sure, you could try changing the
opacity of your highlighter tool to a lower value. Say, 50% or even 10%. Just
temporarily while you investigate. This way, when two highlights overlap, you
can immediately recognise it because the overlapping part will be darker.

If that doesn't help either, I recommend you open a new bug report (after
searching for duplicates), since *this* bug report, while it may be useful for
finding the cause of your issue, is of course a separate issue.
