Probably a typo in the flags that the file was opened with or a thinko in the file closing.
(Directly adding a highlight mark would require merging the content prior, the highlight, and the content following - here you describe appending the highlight to the content prior and the content following being dropped into the bit bucket.
There is a reason that many systems keep things like added highlights in an external file.)
