A funny bug with highlights.. when you zoom in, an existing highlight is magnified out of proportions. The same happens on zoom-out, the highlight becomes near invisible.
The "bloom" needs to be recalculated after zoom change.

Yes, this is a known bug. I’ve temporarily moved the selection “halos” to a cached layer so that it appears in the right order between the other layers. However, that means it doesn’t get recalculated after zooming.
I’ve got a query into the other devs to see if there’s a way to interleave cached and non-cached layers. If that doesn’t pan out I’ll have to put in some code to manually redraw all the halos when the zoom changes.
