SUMMARY
After I use highligher once，the lefttop hint disappear and I need to click the button again.

But I need to use many times when I read the whole book,
This makes me click the button again after I use once before next  use.

Is there a way to use it for many times after click “Yellow Highlighter” button once ,just like Acrobat Adobe?

Thanks for your help
