When ישׁב is open in HALOT it is also highlighting שׁוב, and אֲשֶׁר. See below. This is the only lexicon I have open. None of these words should be emphasized as they a re different lemmas.
Are you sure you don't have another search window open?
I think there is a problem with the underlying ESV text. It works properly with the Net and other Bibles. I have no other explanation as I tried changing the emphasized text settings and it still highlighted the stray words when I clicked on "answered" in the ESV.
Yes. See John's response as well.
What steps are you taking to get highlighted results for answer? Are you using the context menu, running a bible search, something else? When I do an inline search for (שׁוב) I get appropriate results in the ESV. And my settings don't run a search when I triple click to open a lexicon. But I know that there are many ways to look at things in Logos.
Also, the interlinear view doesn't show a connection to () with the odd results your search is displaying.
What book is BIGK:TTA? If that is also a lexicon, then it could explain the results you are seeing. You might try testing again with just HALOT and ESV open.
Just open the ESV alone and click on "answer" and the other words with different lemmas and roots will highlight. It really has nothing to do with the link to the lexicon. I played with the emphasized text options to no avail.
I'm just double clicking on 'sitting; in Isaiah 6:1 (ישׁב) which opens my top lexicon HALOT. The red highlights are from my ESV - Formatting - Emphasize - Current dictionary/lexicon entry (lemma). I have no other resources open aside from HALOT and the ESV.
I get the same problem in all bibles with reverse interlinears.
Strangely I am not getting any highlighting when swtiching to different lexicons (DCH or DBL aren't working for me).
@Morgan I can neither recreate nor explain the behavior you are seeing.
Can you open the information pane for HALOT and ESV (from the "Home" tab of the panel menu), scroll to the bottom, copy the Support Info section and paste it here. Maybe you have an out of date file.
@John Fidel you are reporting something else that is unrelated, and I'm not sure is actually incorrect, since "answer" comes from two lemmas, and I suspect the extra highlights you are surprised by are from the preposition.

OK, those are the versions of those files I would expect to see. I'll see if I can think of any other possible solutions, but I'm out of ideas at the moment.
@Morgan my new guess is that this is the result of some bad data in one of your prioritized resources (not ESV).
Go to your Library, open the info sidebar on the right and switch to the prioritize books tab. Resize the sidebar if necessary so that you can see enough of the titles in order for it not to be ambiguous about which each one is. Then post a screenshot of your priorities. Hopefully that will give us the information that is needed to recreate the problem.
