Update:  When I close the Favorites list and re-open it, the highlight color
is back until I click on a new link.

??? The one you have selected is the white/opaque one.  The background
I see  makes it very clear which one is selected. If it is not clear,
then change it in Control Panel-Display (You don't say what operating
system you use, so I can give no more instructions, but the item is 3D
Objects on my computers in a couple of operating systems)

I don't think you should be "clicking" on an item in the menu.
That would cause the item to open and the menu to disappear.
If the menu was still showing after an item was clicked
that could mean you have a problem with a video driver.

To avoid the confusion of opening an item and then perhaps seeing
the menu in an undefined state before it is completely closed,
tell us what you see if you just move your mouse pointer over the menu items.
Even better, to avoid the question of some kind of interaction
with your mouse driver too, tell us how the menu works
if you just use it with your keyboard.   E.g. press Alt-a, and then
use  CursorDown  or CursorUp  to highlight a menu item
instead of "clicking" on it with your mouse.
