Pages 08 doesn’t draw border around paragraphs correctly

pages

If I'm using Pages '08 and trying to draw a border around a paragraph that is inside a text box, I go to the More tab of the Text Inspector and select a solid line and full rectangle under Border and Rules.

The border that results, however is a top-and-bottom border, and not a full rectangle:

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known bug? If the latter, is there a workaround so I can enclose a paragraph of text in a text box with a surrounding border?

Disclaimer: I'm using Pages '09, but I'm guessing the answer will be the same for '08.

You're seeing this because the left and right edges of the paragraph are not visible inside the text box. To work around this, you can add a small Inset Margin from the Text tab of the Text Inspector:
