I understand the issue but removing it not satisfactory either, because this padding: 1% have to be here for the others cases.

We maybe should add a "highlight" class for cases like this where boxhighlight cannot be used.

That's nice, but there a slight problem (maybe not with all themes, at least with the gna one), the boxhiglight modifies the size of the box, as visible in the attached screenshot.

It should not happen, considering the css, but it does, I'm not sure why exactly

.boxitem {
background-color: #fafafa;
padding: 1%;
border: solid #b0b0b0;
border-width: 0 thin thin thin;
}
.boxitemalt {
background-color: #dbdbdb;
padding: 1%;
border: solid #b0b0b0;
border-width: 0 thin thin thin;
}

.boxhighlight {
border-bottom: solid #5080c0;
background-color: #c4dbe4;
padding: 1%;
border: solid #b0b0b0;
border-width: 0 thin thin thin;
}

But I only on the "should be finished on column" right?

While browsing items with the "should be finished on" field, item still open that should be finished should be highlighted.

"Should be finished on" is mainly used on the task tracker.

- It could be highlighted by putting the whole line in bold (but this kind of highlighting limits us, as we will not be able to highlight anything else).
- We could use a specific icon (but we should not abuse of icons, otherwise people will have to get a Savane driving license - there are already a bunch of icons -- useful I think)
- It could be highlighted by putting only the should be finished on column, of the relevant row, in the css element boxhighlight. Simple and probably cleanest solution.

Both option 2 and 3 seems fine.
