If you wanted to move the brackets, for an actual highlight, you could do it after the dictionary goes away.

But I've been crocheting for a month, and not reading -- so I haven't looked at my Voyage to see if it has this new update. So I'm just guessing.
Yes, putting the handles up (even when selecting a single word) makes sense, but the issue is that (sometimes) the highlight persists even after the various panels and toolbars are dismissed (by tapping somewhere other than the toolbars or panels).
