The action will be wrapped in a one try .. finally block that restores the highlight option. So it should be OK unless a power outage or a cold restart is carried out.
The problem with the Find Duplicates is that the changing and restoring happened in two different (interactive) steps, which left a wide window for things to go wrong. The problem —
as you yourself discovered — was that the restore step was not carried out if the user closed calibre without clearing the duplicates results first.
