You can't alter the machanism of the highlighting algorithm. The highlight spans through paddings and margins, which is annoying sometimes. What you could do is prevent any text selection with CSS

-webkit-user-select: none;
-khtml-user-select: none;
-moz-user-select: none;
-o-user-select: none;
user-select: none;
