are occasionally highlighted as shown below?  This happens for

Answers  up vote 7 down vote accepted  Newly picked up items are
highlighted in your inventory. After picking up a new item, it
will stay highlighted until:    • You mouse over them in your
inventory   • Approximately 2 minutes passes after opening you
inventory  Simply opening/closing your inventory does not change
their highlighted-ness, but items will not de-highlight until
you open your inventory. I.e. the 2 minutes do not start until
you see the "sunburst" around the item when you open your
inventory  Stackable items will also be highlighted in both your
inventory and stash when a new stack is formed/updated. For
example, if I have one Topaz in my stash and one in my inventory
and I right click one of them, the newly formed stack of 2
Topazes will be highlig
