[REPRODUCIBLE] with LibreOffice 3.5.3.2 (Build-ID:
235ab8a-3802056-4a8fed3-2d66ea8-e241b80), German UI, on MacOS X 10.6.8.

Just to avoid misunderstandings: this bug report is talking about styles for
headlines, not about page headers/footers (see attached sample file).

To explain the issue a bit lengthy (I did not understand the original
description at the first glance):

There is a general behaviour in LibreOffice Writer that two paragraphs
immediately following each other and having the same background color will get
displayed like 'merged' to one rectangle with the same background color, even
if there is some (vertical) spacing after the 1st and/or before the 2nd
paragraph. For example, if you have two paragraphs with DIFFERENT backgrond
color and some (vertical) spacing after the 1st and/or before the 2nd
paragraph, they look like this:

+--------------------------------------------+
| First paragraph                            |
+--------------------------------------------+


+--------------------------------------------+
| Second paragraph                           |
+--------------------------------------------+

But the background color of both paragraphs is the same, they look like this,
showing one single rectangle of background color:

+--------------------------------------------+
| First paragraph                            |
|                                            |
|                                            |
|                                            |
| Second paragraph                           |
+--------------------------------------------+

Whether this behaviour is right or wrong for ordinary paragraphs of ordinary
text, might be disputed (this may be a feature or a bug).

But Zuzukrukov's report specifically talks about two headlines following each
other, and here the current behaviour is really disturbing. The background
color is handled like in ordinary paragraphs, i.e., when two headlines with the
same background colors follow each other immediately, they get a single
background color rectangle:

+--------------------------------------------+
| 1. Main headline                           |
|                                            |
|                                            |
|                                            |
| 1.1 Subhead                                |
+--------------------------------------------+

The same is shown by Zuzukrukov's sample file.

IMHO the current behaviour is irritating, especially for headlines; in my
example, the user will probably not want to have the main headline (1.) and the
subhead line (1.1.) to look similar to a single headline because of the common
background rectangle.
