MS Word and its little quirks

So today I spent a while messing around trying to understand why, when I split a cell in a table in Word, the shading doesn't fit the whole of the new cell. This seemed like there should be a simple solution, but as it turns out, it was down the margin of the new cell being a different size to the margin of the old cell that I split...

Is it me, or would the logical way for this to operate be that the new "column" (in this case) has the same attributes as the one that it was "split" from? Perhaps there's some technical reason why not, but whatever the case, it's all sorted now thanks to this very helpful page:
