## Message

```
Don't highlight partial indent guide backgrounds (#34433)

Closes https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/33665

Previously if a line was indented something that was not a multiple of
`tab_size` with `"ident_guides": { "background_coloring": "indent_aware"
} }` the background of characters would be highlighted. E.g. indent of 6
with tab_size 4.

CC: @bennetbo Any idea why this partial indent was enabled in your
initial implementation
[here](https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/pull/11503/files#diff-1781b7848dd9630f3c4f62df322c08af9a2de74af736e7eba031ebaeb4a0e2f4R3156-R3160)?
This looks to be intentional.

Release Notes:

- N/A
```
