Why do you need to highlight?
I think that behavior is pretty standard. When you highlight something in an application, like an editor, it is setting marks at the beginning and end of the highlighted section, and displaying what you highlighted differently.
If you go to another place and highlight, it removes the old begin and end marks and sets new ones. Applications assume you will highlight one thing at a time, and if you highlight a new section the old one goes away.
AFAIK, no.
You want to highlight multiple sections, have them displayed differently, and have the highlights retained for future viewings?
There is no eBook viewer that will do that. The closest you can come will be to create a bookmark for each highlighted section that you can return to in a future viewing. What you want would require editing the eBook file and placing highlighting marks at desired places in the text. eBook viewers can't do that.

Thanks Dennis.
Why do you need to highlight?
I like to highlight stuff I might refer to again, rather having to hunt it down.
It's weird because you can highlight on the Kindle Cloud Reader and they even have a feature where you can go to a page where all your highlights are gathered. I just assumed all ereaders did that sort of thing. You can do it in LibreOffice. It just seemed ubiquitous.
