I haven't noticed any real difference. It could be something about the Aura H2O, but I don't use mine enough to really see.
If yours is the original Aura H2O, try cleaning under the bezel. Dirt under it can block the IR beams.

On a similar note, am I the only one who finds it annoying to have the highlight menu come up as well as saving the highlight? It doesn't make things any more convenient than the old method, where you had to use that menu to save the highlight; now, you still have to tap away to dismiss the saved highlight.

I have mixed feelings about this. But, there is no change in the number of taps. Before, if select something, you had to tap the menu to save the highlight, or tap elsewhere for the menu to go away without saving the highlight. Now, you tap the menu to not save the highlight and tap elsewhere to save the highlight and close the menu. I'm not sure what the difference is.
Kobo told me that the change came from feedback. And I can see it. Why are you highlighting multiple words if you aren't planning to save the highlight? If you do a search, the highlight isn't saved. The problem I have, is that it is inconsistent with selecting a single word (or multiple words that match something in the dictionary). In that case, I have to tap the menu to save the highlight and tap away to close the menu and dictionary popup.
