If one then clicks on another cell in the same row but in another column, say Count, then the red border doesn't necessarily extinguish on the previously clicked cell and so on if one then clicks the Language cell, say. But a further click on a cell may (I think maybe always does) extinguish the previous red borders on the other cells.
However, that said, my experience is that the last left clicked cell is the one that will go to the clipboard with CTRL-C (and, for myself anyway, I never want to copy the language or count cells).

AnotherCat - as you say 'hard to see without knowing', I had to use a magnifying glass to see it, so do I set my screen res to VGA, or tie a magnifying glass to the monitor and leave it set at WQXGA
The reason Count and Language get to be the current cell is: if I go to the editing window to do something, or I look a word up in a dictionary or thesaurus (local or online) I will eventually want to return focus to word list - when I'm apt to aim the pointer at the current highlighted line, rather than the Word cell. I guess now I know I'll aim the pointer more carefully.
But I'd rather not use ctrl/c, I'd rather have Copy Word to clipboard in the Context menu then I can do all my bread-and-butter spell checking operations via the context menu. I'm mouse shy because of a physical incapacity due to injury, hence I'm a big user of context menus... via context menu key.
My understanding is that a lot of calibre's UI annoyances are due to Qt library limitations. Kovid has mentioned that working on integrating Qt version 5 into calibre (currently Qt4.?) so...
