The appearance of the brackets is 'normal', at least in current version of firmware. I think that's been the behavior for some time (but my Paperwhite 1 does not do this).

As for the lingering highlight, I had it happen twice on my Kindle Voyage in about 40 attempts. I tried also on my Kindle 8gen and also see it here and there. So yes, it happens, though I would not say it is frequent enough to annoy me. If it was happening before the latest update, I might not have noticed (I don't do a lot of lookups).

But it sounds like it is more frequent on your Paperwhite. Maybe a Restart will make it go away?
