When a users is typing text, the editor highlights the last few chars he/she typed for other users that have the same file opened and that part of the file inside their viewport.

When the other user now selects a part of the text in the editor, there is an unconnected highlighting in the editor, formatted exactly the same way. In this case it's unclear which part was changed recently, and which part is selected by the other user. See attached screenshot.

If there was a different way of highlighting (maybe apply a border to the highlighting) for "text selection" and "changes highlighting" it would be more clear which text was just changed and which is selected by the other user in the session.

I don't think this is a serious problem, but still think it's a notable inconsistency (or in this case over-consistency).
