The Playback Highlighter is controlled using the shortcuts CTRL+F12 and CTRL+SHIFT+F12. Any keystroke will detach the text cursor from the Highlighter. Be careful! Typing while the Playback Highlighter is attached to the cursor will delete the word or phrased currently highlighted.

 

It is a best practice to always detach your cursor from the Highlighter before making an edit.
