I agree, if it is decided that in GUI build, drawing a 1px line is
better than highlighting the column background then the line should be
on the left edge of the specified column. However I feel that the
behavior should be same for CUI and GUI builds i.e. highlight the
column background but I am flexible to what others agree upon.
