Bug ID: 158193
Summary: WRITER: what are the limits of paragraph Area colour
fill?
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

Sample showing a stray line above text
LO 7.6.2.1
Fedora 39 with kernel 6.5, KDE Plasma desktop
VCL: kf5 (cairo+xcb)
There is a discrepancy between paragraph style area extent and character style
highlight extent.
A character style can be used to temporarily override paragraph style (area)
background. Unfortunately character highlight does not extent vertically to the
same height as paragraph area, leaving a thin top border over text.
The attached sample file shows the effect.
The report is a follow-on of
https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/how-do-i-highlight-around-text-rather-than-the-text-itself/98136/
It addresses specifically this issue and a workaround is provided. However
working on the question revealed a more general problem illustrated in the
sample file. There is no easy answer to this general problem since it involves
"aesthetics". So opinion of UX, typographers and developers is needed.
IMHO, the issue with the top line is a bug. Question is open for intermediate
lines inside paragraphs because increased leading may be necessary to enlighten
text with some type faces.
