Frustrated with Cell Stretching

Hello,

I am building a fairly basic page. On one row I have two cells. Each of those cells has a widget inside of it.

I have set the Cell Attributes of the cells in the rows, not the widgets inside, to Vertical Alignment: Stretch. This stretches the cells to the full height of the rows so that the cells can be equal height. This seems to work fine.

When I attempt to apply a background color to the Cell in the same Cell # Styles pane, it adds a second div as a child to the Cell #, created in the step above, which attempts to add the background color Cell # created in the step above. Unfortunately the background-color is only going to the height of the widget, not the Cell that is stretched to the full height of the row.

What on Earth is going on, and why isn’t the style being applied to the Cell when the Vertical-Alignment is?
