Background Color Fix

This extension fixes the behavior of text background colors in the editor in two ways. First, it removes the gap in the background color between subsequent lines with the same background color. Second, when the background color is at the end of the line, it draws the background color to the edge of the view.  This restores (mostly) the behavior to how it worked in Visual Studio 2008.

There is one caveat: in Visual Studio 2008, languages would explicitly specify which background colors should be drawn to the edge of the view (and not just to the end of the line); XML Doc comments, for example, would go to the edge of the view, but the background for a keyword would not.  This extension doesn't have access to that information, so all it can do is guess, and it always assumes that the background color of the last character on each line is the background color to use for the space between the end of the line and the edge of the view.

Version History:

v0.8 - VS2015 support.

v0.7 - VS2013 support.

v0.6 - Fix for VS2012, courtesy Daniel Regner.

v0.5 - Installable on VS2012.

v0.4 - A potential fix for a SxS issue when installed with the Productivity Power Tools (specifically, the Colorized Parameter Help extension).

v0.3 - A few miscellaneous fixes to try and solve bugs people found around the fix disappearing or interfering with normal fonts and colors changes.

v0.2 - Fixed behavior and improved performance around collapsed regions.  Before this version, if you had any elements in a collapsed region with a different background color, the collapsed region would pick up that color.  As of v0.2, that only happens if the different background color touches the edges of the collapsed region.

v0.1 - Initial version.
