Highlight showing individual polygons (not merged)

[DanielL]

When using FeatureLayerView.highlight() and multiple features are highlighted, it appears that the highlight automatically merges neighboring highlights.  This makes it look like two neighboring polygons are one polygon.  And if a large polygon overlaps a smaller polygon, and both are highlighted, there is no way to tell that the underlying polygon is also highlighted.

Is there a way to change this behavior so the highlighted polygons don't visibly merge?

I ran into that too.  If I remember correctly, it is a compositing behavior in the ArcGIS renderer by design for highlights.  The only solution I came up with was creating a Graphics Layer so I can have full control over it.   Probably a good one to put in the Ideas section.
