Early highlights disappear

I've noticed twice, within a few days, that I began making highlights soon after the draft version appeared as available in the android app, and after a couple of highlights, suddenly most of these (4 or 5 maybe) were gone, while 1 or 2 remained. After closing the draft (out of suspicion) and doing the missing highlights again, the problem did not reoccur, fortunately.
I suspect some post-processing could be the cause, but that's just guesswork. I have never seen this phenomenon before, it seems a very recent issue.
The latest case I noticed was with a saved UnHerd article:

On iOS, I have also noticed that highlights are often slow to save.
I’ll make the highlight, but the colored dash doesn’t show up on the right side of the screen. The highlight is only saved when that dash appears. If I make another highlight before the dash appears, the previous highlight will simply disappear.
Waiting for the dash to appear sometimes takes a long time, 15-45 seconds.

I have experienced that too, often on medium articles. It's a big that comes and goes. At the moment it seems okay for most pages. I've tested it with the link you posted and no highlights disappeared (Android mobile app)
