I'm not sure what part of what you described could be called a "bug",
nor what a "fix" would involve.

I wrote this code some time back, which hilights the current field:

::end:
@wef*::gosub hilite ; end:
@wlf*::gosub lowlite ; end:
::'''''''''''''''''''''''':
hilite::show (@ro, at co) "\r" & fieldval(-, at fd) & "\r" ; end:
lowlite::show (@ro, at co) fieldval(-, at fd) ; end:

Perhaps use something like this as a wrapper wround your brwlook?
