That will be because the order of drawing the rooms is not predictable and the highlighting is done for each room as it is painted - to fix that would require another iteration through the rooms - or some other thing - like making a note of which rooms are highlighted and then doing just that bit of the "painting" after all the rooms themselves have been painted. Since #7189 is open anything to do with this issue should either be incorporated into that - or deferred until that has been merged, IMHO.
