Object style text description: Background is too big

In v2019 if you use the text description in the object style, the background does not shrink to the descriptive content. It is about three lines too big.
It does work correctly in v17.
Another question about the text background. Is it possible to have opacity?

Hi Mark.
I've attempted to add a description text in the Cell Style section in both v17 and 2019.1, but the result seems exactly identical to me. Perhaps I did something wrong. Could you explain the whole procedure more in details and perhaps add a few screenshots that depict the settings and the result?
About the opacity, unfortunately this is not possible. At the moment, only the color can be changed, but not its opacity
Please keep me posted here about the other issue
Thank you

Hi Stefano,
You are correct about the other issue.
What I am trying to achieve is a background image, with a overlaying text box on a cell level, such as you can achieve with a text box on a background image on a complete row in row formats.

Hello Mark,
By this way you can change the opacity of any object (and obviously many others CSS paramters)
In Chrome, click on inspect on your content and try to find the ID name of the object
And find the ID like below...
OK, now you have the ID.
Add an HTML object into your page and put this CSS code into the CSS tab.
#imTextObject_135_01{
opacity: 0.2;
}
Put your ID found into your inspect checking .
And the display will be...
Enjoy :-)
