Subject: Re: Multi-page textbackground ignores topoffset

Hello all,

I tried working around this by wrapping the textbackground in a background
with the correct topoffset and then manually correcting for the itemize
indent, but on the first page this doubles the topoffset  and introduces
problems with the bottomoffset. If this gives anyone an idea for a
workaround, though, I'd be grateful to hear about it.

Would this behavior of textbackground regarding topoffset be considered a
bug, or a missing feature? Are the any plans to do anything about it in the
future?

Thanks,
Nick
