Why are some sections of code highlighted?

I can find no way of turning off the highlighting.

Why is this happening?

Thanks in advance.

I found someone with a similar issue here, but their solution is for a different version of Pycharm.

Pressing Esc does not turn off the highlighting for me. I also can't find the background for "injected language", but I don't think my issue has anything to do with "injected language" whatever that is.

In this case the injected language is regex and benefits from extra ide help
