BUG: Background Highlight extends to space after paragraph

Hey,


there is an inherent bug in the functionality of the background color highlight of a text style.


1. Create two paragraphs of text styled with the same paragraph style.

2. Create a character style called Bold with the color backgroud property set to a color, let's say yellow.

3. Adjust the spacing of your paragraph style to 20 pt and update the style.

4. Apply the character style Bold to the last line of your first paragraph.

5. The highlight will fill the gap, instead of simply staying behind the type.


The only workaround to avoid this is to create ghost paragraph breaks between the lines – this is pretty retro. Please fix. Generelly, the highlight fills the line space unevenly. Look at this screenshot:
