Don't display border if consecutive borders splits accross frames/columns

Question

Inside my textboxes, I have:Unchecked: Display Border if Paragraph Splits Across Frames/ColumnsChecked: Merge Consecutive Borders and Shading with same Settings So far so good. Everything works exactly as I want it to, except for one edge case:Sometimes a paragraph happens to end at exactly the same place as the textbox. When this happens, it displays the border. But I want it to NOT display the border when this happens, just as I want it to not display the border if the paragraph splits across frames/columns. This only ended up happening at one place in my document, so it looks like an error.

To bring the bug to the attention of the product managers and engineers, you should report it in the InDesign User Voice:

https://indesign.uservoice.com/forums/601180-adobe-indesign-bugs

It will be much likely to be see and acted upon there.

I found a very hacky inelegant solution, which also highlighted a problem behind the problem. So, by adding a lot of funny whitespace characters, I have tricked inDesign into thinking two different paragraphs are really the same paragraph, getting the behaviour I want. But on closer inspection... there is no consistency between where the shading ends. I don't really care how far from the bottom of the textbox the shading ends, so long as it's the same consistently. It isn't.

So, a bug within a bug. Inception of bugs!
