I think the behavior should be the same as it was before: the color of the highlight should change when the annotated word was modified from its original version to emphasize the fact that there is something to be reviewed and after validation (after clicking the 'Check' button on the annotation pop-up) or if the word has been reverted to its original version, the color to become as of a regular annotation.
