This example reminded me of something that’s been puzzling me. In the
screenshot, the background color of lines that begin and end a source
block extend all the way across the screen.

When I change the faces for org block begin/end to something with a
background color, the color only extends to the end of the characters on
that line. The same is true if I change the background color of the
content of the block.

This is quite distracting. I thought “this must be the consequence of
some other mode I’m using or something” and I decided to test that. I
fired up “emacs -q” and loaded the code pointed to by the post above.
What I get is:

What’s the trick to get the background color to extend across the entire line?
