What you are seeing is one of the backbone elements of JMP. Interactive data exploration involves the ability to see patterns within data. Therefore JMP allows for the interactive selection of data points in graphs or rows within a data table. The selected rows in a data table by default appear highlighted in graphs, and if one selects data point(s) in a graph, in turn the rows those points come from are selected in the data table.
So the issue is, you have selected rows in the data table your histogram was built from and the data values in the graph are highlighted
