mergedCellBackgroundColour.odt: merged cells only show cell color in top grid.
repro 7.1+
This has nothing to do with HTML or copy/paste.
So what you have here with OPs example is a table-wide background property of
light gray, which is overridden in some rows via with row-level background
properties of dark gray or yellow. The cells themselves don't have a
background property. Because A1 is merged with A2, and B1 is merged with B2,
those grids kindof don't exist, but yet the row property is shining through in
those spaces.
This is easy to reproduce by hand in LO. I notice that horizontal merges are OK
- it is only the vertical merges where the colour doesn't apply to each
grid-section of the merged cell.</pre>
