 * When a user clicks a hotspot and then moves on the earlier hotspot stays highlighted.
   You can end up with all the hotpsots lit. This is irritating and not what a user
   would expect. It doesn’t happen when only hovering. Can this be addressed in 
   an update?

 * Once clicked, the area stays highlighted so that the user can navigate over to
   the more info box where there might be a link or additional information. So it’s
   necessary to keep it highlighted after click.
 * It will disable the highlight if you click again on the area, or if you click
   a different area.
 * If that’s not what you’re seeing, there may be an issue we aren’t aware of. In
   that case, could you send a link?
 * Thanks!

 * It acts as you say in your first para, but not as in the second.
    Try it – knucklascastle.
   org.uk/orchard It happens in Firefox and IE so it’s not a browser issue. It is
   actually a bit random, it worked properly briefly and then sometimes one or two
   cleared! (I have Pro version 1.1.1 installed yesterday)

 * Sorry about that, I didn’t realize you were using the lightbox layout in the 
   Pro version.
 * We are planning to address that in an upcoming update, so that it removes the
   highlight after closing the lightbox. We should have that published in the 1.2
   update to the Pro version shceduled for next Friday.

 * OK thanks! It is not urgent of course.

 * Hi, on this note, is there an option to leave the images highlighted that you’ve
   previously clicked? I’d like to use that feature to allow the user to pick different
   items in a collage, and be able to see what items they selected across a grid
   of photos.
 * Second question, would it be possible to keep track of which items a user clicks
   on a grid (perhaps a plugin you can recommend that gives the user an option to
   save a screenshot of which items they’ve selected?)

 * Hi Dave,
 * The areas all unhighlight now when you click to another area on the image (or
   if you close the lightbox view in the Pro version). So it wouldn’t be possible
   to click and select multiple areas at once since the plugin wouldn’t know which
   set of information to display.
 * Best,
    Nathan
