Highlighting doesn't work when using both marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete and zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting

There appears to be a compatibility issue between zsh-history-substring-search and these modules:

• zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting
• zsh-users/zsh-autosuggestions
• zsh-users/zsh-syntax-highlighting

It seems that when I try to enable all 4 plugins, syntax highlighting doesn't work with zsh-history-substring-search. However, disabling either zsh-autocomplete or zsh-syntax-highlighting causes highlighting to function properly.

Working (listed order is load order):

• zsh-syntax-highlighting + zsh-history-substring-search
• zsh-autosuggestions + zsh-syntax-highlighting + zsh-history-substring-search
• zsh-autocomplete + zsh-autosuggestions + zsh-history-substring-search

Not working (changing the order doesn't seem to help):

• zsh-autocomplete + zsh-autosuggestions + zsh-syntax-highlighting + zsh-history-substring-search

Incidentally, replacing zsh-syntax-highlighting with fast-syntax-highlighting seems to make things work. Highlighting is a little different, but close.

Possibly related to marlonrichert/zsh-autocomplete#517

Just having zsh-autosuggestions + zsh-history-substring-search (in any order) breaks autosuggestion highlighting.

All of these are trying to do the same thing "modify styling on the current line" and I think it's near impossible to coordinate them to all work together without merging them into a single plugin.

Based on the fact that people are suggesting to set the HIGHLIGHT_STYLE to white, it seems like it's not an obscure issue.

This same thing happened to me when configuring a new workstation, while on the old unit it was still working.. So I backtracked through both the autosuggestions and history-substring repos and did a few checkouts to earlier commits.

It seems the issue was introduced in this repository, with commit b4fb93d. If I revert to the commit before (563a551), the behaviour is back to normal again.
