 inform user that not all features are visible in draft mode (like text
 highlight).

 I'm close to fixing this, but have not yet committed those changes because
 they still have a few weird inconsistencies that have to do with updating
 after a drag event. I'll see how your changes mesh with mine. It's a
 pretty busy day today so I might not get to it until the weekend.
