Org mode has been updated in Emacs since your bug report.  Would it be
possible for you to test if the bug still exists with the latest Emacs
bzr repository?  If that's inconvenient, could you please provide a
precise step-by-step recipe for reproducing this problem?

Thanks.

Chong,

using the latest emacs from the bzr repository is not very convenient
at all.  Sorry.  However, I can easily reproduce the problem: take the
attached org file (very short).  Visit this file in Emacs with latest
org.  Then turn on global-hl-line-mode or hl-line-mode (either or
both).  Move the cursor to the first line after the "Introduction"
heading and you should see the highlighting extend to the white space
of the next line.

The screenshot is still in the location indicated above and the
current behaviour is the same as when that screenshot was generated.

Thanks,
eric

I see the described problem using (not quite latest, but pretty close):

- Emacs 23.1.91.1 (x86_64-darwin10.2.0, X toolkit)
  (bzr tag EMACS_PRETEST_23_1_91; revno 99220; Wed 2009-12-30 21:14:46 -0500)

- org-version 6.33f (from my local elisp customization, 23.1.91.1
actually ships with 6.33x)
