Description
In Qgis <2.6 when you clicked on object after object with the info tool, only the last object clicked was highlighted, highlighting on the previous object was turned off (with the auto-open feature attributes form option turned on). In Qgis 2.6 and 2.8, the highlight stays on.

are you sure that you don't have any feature form dialog open? this is usually the source of this "issue".

I'm sure that i do have the feature dialogs open, and that when i close the dialogs, the highlighting goes off. Yet, in previous versions it didn't matter, only the last object clicked was highlighted.

sorry I'm not sure I understand: if you close the identify/form feature dialog, and the highlighting goes away, where is the issue?
The behavior changed from previous qgis releases, but this is known and was by design.

Before i didnt have to close dialogs, now i do. That means extra clicks. So, in that aspect, the new version is not an improvement.
But, then again, as i understand its by design and ment to work like that, so its not a bug.

I see your point, but is really by design.
