SUMMARY
When we select a set of text, and then switch to highlight mode, the previous
selected texts are still selected while the highlighting works simultaneously.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Switch to "Text "Selection" and select any text
2. Without deselecting, switch to highlighter and highlight any text.
3. The selected text persists while highlighter works as well.

OBSERVED RESULT
The selected text persists while highlighter works as well.


EXPECTED RESULT
The selected text should be deselected while highlighter is working.
