The thing is, it just doesn't look good if the selection highlight touches the line on top, but not on the sides: F6373663: Looks bad.png <https://phabricator.kde.org/F6373663> If we want to change the selection highlight to always touch the bounds of the content view on //all// sides, that's a much larger change that will affect a ton of things in Plasma and can't be done just here. It would have to be a deliberate decision made everywhere at once. I'm just trying to follow the existing style here without making any dramatic design changes.
