If you exit full-screen mode while "Highlight destination" effect is still active after clicking a link, app will crash

=== UPDATE ===================================================================
The issue reported below has been resolved in Ver 10.8.3 build 408.
I appreciate all the hard work and efforts of the support and development team.
==============================================================================


Hello all,

I noticed an issue with the ‘Highlight Destination’ feature added in build 405 when switching to or from full-screen mode. When the ‘Highlight Destination’ feature is enabled, a visual effect highlighting the destination appears for a short time. If you switch to full-screen mode (Case A) or exit full-screen mode (Case B) while this visual effect is displayed, a problem occurs.

In Case A, the visual effect stops as soon as full-screen mode is activated, and the visual effect remains on the screen unless action is taken. However, since the application continues to accept operations, the visual effect disappears if you navigate to another page or perform a similar action. Therefore, this is a truly minor issue. However, since the application will definitely crash in Case B, this appears to be a more serious problem compared to Case A.

The verification video below demonstrates Case A in the first half and Case B in the second half. In the video, to avoid the issue reported in this topic, the Appearance setting in Highlighting Options is changed to Rectangle. This configuration change is for clarity in the presentation and is not strictly necessary for the issue to occur.

Hoping that the above information will be of some help to you.
Thank you so much for your continued support.

Best regards,
