Chong,

using the latest emacs from the bzr repository is not very convenient
at all.  Sorry.  However, I can easily reproduce the problem: take the
attached org file (very short).  Visit this file in Emacs with latest
org.  Then turn on global-hl-line-mode or hl-line-mode (either or
both).  Move the cursor to the first line after the "Introduction"
heading and you should see the highlighting extend to the white space
of the next line.

The screenshot is still in the location indicated above and the
current behaviour is the same as when that screenshot was generated.

Thanks,
eric
