It is probably easier to fix this for all cases than fixing it just
for Draw export. At the moment, only screen rendering gets the
rectangle correct, printing and exporting only renders the background
inside the actual column boundary. At a guess, this has been done
deliberately at some stage to overcome some printing/export problem.
