I know this is an old question but I thought what I have discovered might help others. :)

I had the same annoying problem and no matter what I could not remove the highlighting with the Tools->Fonts & Colours option mentioned here.

What actually did work is the Tools->Editor->Highlighting and turn off the "Mark Occurrences of Symbol Under Caret".
