Disabling "Keep Marks" highlighting setting has no effect for PHP

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 26

What happened

When the "Mark Occurrences Of Symbol Under Caret" highlighting setting is enabled for PHP, disabling the additional "Keep Marks" setting does not seem to have an effect. Highlighting always behaves as if the "Keep Marks" setting was enabled.

Language / Project Type / NetBeans Component

PHP project

How to reproduce

With the following settings:

• Tools > Options > Editor > Highlighting
  • Language: PHP
  • Mark Occurrences Of Symbol Under Caret: Checked
  • Keep Marks: Unchecked

Move the cursor for example over a PHP variable to get it highlighted, and then away from the variable to an empty line. The variable and its occurrences stay highlighted.
