That name should have been detected. Would it be possible for you to email me at
support@marvinapp.com about this?
I've tried several highlighting options when i was working on DPV. In many cases, I found that even lightly coloured highlighting turned out to be ver distracting plus there's the overhead of scanning through each chapter on load to detect and highlight names. This was causing book loads to take a bit longer than I wanted.
You're right about the merging - IRC it is already logged in as a bug. I'll get to it soon.
