Does it happen when the text is changed in the view?
I vaguely recall seeing something like this, when the underlying text 
is changed entirely but the format of the previous text somehow seeems 
to stick.

Anyway, FWIW here is some code that's a bit similar to yours but works 
for me. The main difference is I'm using setExtraSelections().

{
  QList<QTextEdit::ExtraSelection> qlist;
  if (lst.empty()) {
    setExtraSelections(qlist);
    return;
  }
  std::list<searched_text>::const_iterator it = lst.begin();
  QTextEdit::ExtraSelection qsel;
  QTextCharFormat qfmt;
  qfmt.setBackground(QBrush(QColor("yellow")));
  qsel.format = qfmt;
  QTextCursor tcursor;

  QTextDocument::FindFlags flags=0;
  if (it->m_is_cs)
    flags |= QTextDocument::FindCaseSensitively;
  if (it->m_is_word) {
    flags |= QTextDocument::FindWholeWords;
  }

  for ( ; it!=lst.end(); ++it) {
    int index=0;
    do {
      tcursor = document()->find(it->m_text, index, flags);
      if (!tcursor.isNull()) {
	qsel.cursor=tcursor;
	qlist.append(qsel);
	index = tcursor.position()+1;
      }
    } while (!tcursor.isNull());
  }
  setExtraSelections(qlist);	// even if qlist is empty (otherwise we 
get a blank rectangle colored as the selection)
}

Best regards,
