DW won't highlight properly in design view

Question

When working in design view I can't get photos to highlight or divs to activate quickly. It's taking me twice as long to work because in order to get the elements active my work around is to put it in inspect mode then select element, take it back out and then it is hit or miss whether or not the handle bars or activation boxes light up. Sometimes it takes me 5 or 6 try's. If anyone knows a solution I would greatly appreciate help.
Thank you,

You click anywhere in design view and then look at the bottom left screen and you will see something like this:
Now if you click on <p>, your paragraph will be highlighted.  If you click on <section> your entire contents of section will be highlighted.  Hope this gives you the idea.
This is only possible in Design View.  Code view will not help you here.  Split view might be another option to try it.
Good luck.
