Cell margins in tables and shading

[Moonlight]

I created a Quick Table with the following default cell margins:
Top / Left / Right: 0,12 cm
Bottom: 0 cm

The effect is that when shading cells, the chosen shading color does not cover these (small) margins. The margins remain white:

This does not look nice and it would be fine if this behaviour could be changed. (In MS Word the "full" cell [with identical margins] is covered when using a shading color.)

Thanks in advance.

Instead of using “paragraph shading” (“Format | Paragraph… > More > Borders & Shading…”), you should apply “cell shading” (right-click the table, then “Table Properties… > Shading”).

Indeed. In this way it works as expected. Many thanks.
