Description
Highlighting any text in the main body of https://www.nakivo.com/blog/developing-a-disaster-recovery-policy-a-step-by-step-guide/ causes the highlighted text to be moved into its own line:

The document has a super-generic CSS rule that sets `display: block` on all elements:
```css
body * {
display: block;
}
```
One way to fix this might be to add something like `all: initial` as the first rule of the `.hypothesis-highlight` selector, which will override any universal selectors on the page.
