Problem with multi-line captions with partially-transparent background fills

[Professor Panda]

When caption background fills are set to "per-line" mode, partially-transparent fills will overlap one another.

Yes, I get the same thing. The question for the engineers is what it should look like.

One workaround for now, if you want a continuous box without the overlap, is to reduce the background box so that it is somewhat smaller, increase leading between lines, and avoid the overlap.

Thank you for the workaround. I was able to get it pretty close, but it was impossible to eliminate the gap/overlap entirely. But this would work in a pinch! 

I was hoping this would have been addressed in the revamped text engine in 22.1.1 that was released December 14, but no luck so far.

Still experiencing this problem in 2024. has anyone found a fix?
