Description: When you format a paragraph using the Area (color, etc.) option, and then press ENTER, both paragraphs and the SPACE BETWEEN THEM have color. Each paragraph should have color, but the space between the paragraphs SHOULD NOT HAVE COLOR. Steps to Reproduce: Case 1 - Format Paragraph Borders (don't merge with next paragraph) [works correctly] a) Open a new Writer document b) Format > Paragraph... > Indents & Spacing > Spacing Above paragraph: "0.20" c) Format > Paragraph... > Indents & Spacing > Spacing Below paragraph: "0.20" d) Format > Paragraph... > Borders > Line Arrangement Presets: "Set All Four Borders" e) Format > Paragraph... > Borders > Properties Merge with next paragraph: "<uncheck>" f) Click: "OK" f) Type: "Paragraph1" g) Press: "ENTER" h) Type: "Paragraph2" Result: You have two separate paragraphs, with a border around each one. Case 2 - Format Paragraph Borders (merge with next paragraph) [works correctly] a) Open a new Writer document b) Format > Paragraph... > Indents & Spacing > Spacing Above paragraph: "0.20" c) Format > Paragraph... > Indents & Spacing > Spacing Below paragraph: "0.20" d) Format > Paragraph... > Borders > Line Arrangement Presets: "Set All Four Borders" e) Format > Paragraph... > Borders > Properties Merge with next paragraph: "<check>" f) Click: "OK" f) Type: "Paragraph1" g) Press: "ENTER" h) Type: "Paragraph2" Result: You have two separate paragraphs, with one border around both. Case 3 - Format Paragraph Area [*** does NOT work correctly ***] a) Open a new Writer document b) Format > Paragraph... > Indents & Spacing > Spacing Above paragraph: "0.20" c) Format > Paragraph... > Indents & Spacing > Spacing Below paragraph: "0.20" d) Format > Paragraph... > Borders > Line Arrangement Presets: "Set All Four Borders" e) Format > Paragraph... > Borders > Properties Merge with next paragraph: "<uncheck>" f) Format > Paragraph... > Area > click "Color" f) Click: "OK" f) Type: "Paragraph1" g) Press: "ENTER" h) Type: "Paragraph2" Result: You have two separate paragraphs, with a border around each one, BUT THE COLOR FILLS IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE PARAGRAPHS. Note: There is no Area "Merge with next paragraph" option to uncheck, as there is under Borders! Actual Results: You have two separate paragraphs, with a border around each one, BUT THE COLOR FILLS IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE PARAGRAPHS. Expected Results: You have two separate paragraphs, with a border around each one, BUT THE COLOR SHOULD NOT FILL IN THE SPACE BETWEEN THE PARAGRAPHS.

*** Bug 129170 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
As the reporter noted in bug #129170, and as I have experienced for myself in LibreOffice 7.2, this issue is all the more annoying because it applies to the spacing between two paragraphs with the same area color, whether they are of the same style or of two different styles; so there is no workaround by using another similar style. I had to apply an unnoticeable transparency (1%) to the second paragraph to prevent the spacing from being colored.
I just noticed that this bug is a duplicate of bug #108600. The steps to reproduce the issue are the same but the first report offers more feedback. So I close this one. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 108600 ***
