Hello everyone. Currently, I am running the latest version of Org,
with text properties and the `master` branch of Emacs. I am using
`modus-themes` as well. By using

    (with-eval-after-load 'org
      (dolist (face '(org-block
                      org-block-begin-line
                      org-block-end-line
                      org-level-1
                      org-level-2
                      org-level-3
                      org-level-4
                      org-level-5
                      org-level-6
                      org-level-7
                      org-level-8
                      org-quote
                      org-hide))
        (set-face-attribute face nil :extend t)))

I can extend the background on the Org headline past the newline when
unfolded, but not when folded. The package [https://github.com/tarsius
/backline/blob/master/backline.el](https://github.com/tarsius/backline
/blob/master/backline.el) addresses this for `outline-mode` but now
Org mode uses text properties so that package does not work for Org
mode.

Have you tried setting the variable org-fontify-whole-heading-line to
true?

Yes.

This is because the trailing newline in the folded heading gets
hidden. If the trailing newline is invisible, :extend t has no effect.
It is Emacs limitation, AFAIK. Probably, you need to write a feature
request/bug repor to emacs-devel. You can, for example, use M-x
report-emacs-bug to create the email template for your feature
request.
