Description
* Xreader version (3.02)
* Distribution - (Linux Mint 20.X with Mate UI.)
Some PDF files have 'highlighted' text. I do not know if that is the correct/proper nomenclature. It displays correctly in Google Chrome but in Xreader the 'highlight' appear as a yellow rectangle obliterating the text under it.
Steps to reproduce
Open the attached file PDF in Xreader.
Expected behavior

Research direction
Start by opening the attached Sample Highlighted Text.pdf in Xreader and compare its rendering with the provided Chrome and Xreader screenshots. Trace the PDF highlight rendering path in the C code; done means the highlighted text remains readable instead of being covered by a solid yellow rectangle, while preserving the expected highlight appearance.
