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?
Actually, I just checked, and my PW3 on 5.8.7 doesn't have the brackets, but my Voyage on 5.8.8 does.

I couldn't reproduce the lingering highlight thing, but I only tried 2 or 3 times.
