I have forgot a relevnt detail, which might trigger the behaviour: I am
replacing the text node with a span node before hightlight them in the page,
then I am replacing back the original text node. The problem seems to be
that the replacement is somehow asyncronous, so no matter where I put the
setClass statement, the node in the panel does not have the right class.
