[reportlab-users] Is borderPadding supposed to do this?

[Roberto Alsina]

Trying this program:

from reportlab.platypus import SimpleDocTemplate, Paragraph
from reportlab.lib.styles import ParagraphStyle

def go():
        Story=[]
        doc = SimpleDocTemplate("phello.pdf")
        style = 
ParagraphStyle(name='border',textColor='#ff0000',backColor='#00ff00',borderPadding=40, 
borderWidth=2)
        p = Paragraph('This is a paragraph', style)
        Story.append(p)
        p = Paragraph('This is the second paragraph', style)
        Story.append(p)
        doc.build(Story)

go()

I expected to see two largish paragraphs in ugly colours, with big padding, 
one below the other.

What I got was the second paragraph drawn over the first one.
