Describe the bug

When I highlight a paragraph and scroll down the page, the highlight did stick to the original paragraph.

Expected behavior

What did you expect to happen?
The highlight should move upwards with the paragraph, and disappear when it is out of the screen,
and appear at its original when I scroll back up.

Same issue. This makes highlighting unusable as you can not see what you highlighted.
