Coloured section backgrounds

A section is a part of a page with its own properties. Number of columns may be
different as well as background.

It is expected tht a section begins at a well defined and predictable position.
The same for where it ends.

A user expects section limits encompass everything contained inside the
section.

A section mainly contains paragraphs. A paragraph is defined as spacing above,
text and spacing below. Therefore a section "frontier" is expected to be
located between the spacing below of the paragraph preceding the section and
the spacing above of the first paragraph of the section.

Presently, Writer displays the section frontier immediately below the bottom of
the bounding box of the characters of the last line.

Blank space (spacing below + spacing above) is always considered to be part of
the page, whatever the settings of the spacings.

See attached file where page and section backgrounds have been coloured to show
the behaviour.

Then, either the "restricted" section area is a design decision. Then where is
it specified? How can we work around the difficulty to paint precisely
paragraph background in a section?

Or this is bug and section limits should be fixed.
