Problem with Diagonal Dominant Side background coloring in Numbers Bars

Hi, I used a chart with Numbers Bars where I applied Diagonal Dominant Side text coloring method to color my bars based on diagonal comparison. The chart below shows text coloring:

I try to do the same with another numbers bars chart but now coloring the background based on the same logic (Diagonal Dominant Side) and I get the following results:
http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1475769712781.png

Both Numbers Bars charts have the exact same settings (except that the first uses text coloring and has no background and the second use background coloring with split profile).

As you can see on the second chart there are bars/price levels where the bid or the ask is compared (and this way colored) to a price level what hasn't been traded yet. This produces false color indication since comparation to a non traded price level is irrelevant.
Examples are bars at: 11:46:30 (133x209), 11:47:09 (47x185), 11:48:07 (277x148), etc.
Is it possible to fix the Diagonal Dominant Side background coloring to compare the Bid/ask of traded levels only?

Many thanks in anticipation!

As is explained at 8 here:

There is not support for a Split volume profile Column # Background Type for that coloring method but we will see if we can add this.

Thank you very much for your reply. Having split volume profile background colored with Diagonal Dominant Side + Zero Bid/Ask Comparation would be great combo!

We understand this issue, and it will be resolved in version 1578.

This may have actually been resolved earlier but due to changes, the problem would have come back in recent versions but we are implementing a change to resolve it.
