What you wish for chunks of a field may be partially intended to develop with the 'text-field-extension' of the last pledging.
The possible 'bug': Did you check the threeD setting (true) of the field, that is *conditional* for the field's bottomColor to be affected? It's similar with the borderColor of a field to become affected, what has also the threeD setting (false) as conditional.
