It's not highlighted, but it is drawn with bold text. The highlight effect now purely follows hover.

Do you think it should start out highlighted too, but then the highlight should move with the pointer?

I didn't notice there is bold text until you noticed it. The bold text has very subtle difference than normal text as seen in the screenshot.

Oh wow, that is indeed very subtle in Chinese. I see the problem, yeah, FWIW it's much more obvious in a Latin script language.
Comment 4 Lukas Spies 2023-09-01 15:44:17 UTC
That does indeed not work as-is. Hm, we could play with the font size and/or the opacity of the icons to make it clear which entry is the active one.

AppletAlternatives: Pre-select entry for current widget

In some fonts and scripts, bold text may be nearly indistinguishable
from normal text. This is a problem because currently we only
distinguish the current entry with boldness.

This commit fixes that by additionally pre-selecting it.
