[BUG] highlight keyword does not affect padded content

[rybesh]

Describe the bug

The highlight keyword does not affect padded text, either to turn highlighting off or to turn it on.

To Reproduce

from rich.console import Console
from rich.padding import Padding
console = Console(highlight=True)
console.print(Padding("1 2 3 4", (1,1)), highlight=False)

Expected output: numbers are not highlighted.
Actual output: numbers are highlighted.

from rich.console import Console
from rich.padding import Padding
console = Console(highlight=False)
console.print(Padding("1 2 3 4", (1,1)), highlight=True)

Expected output: numbers are highlighted.
Actual output: numbers are not highlighted.

Platform

macOS 11.5.1
iTerm2 3.4.8
rich==10.7.0

Reproduced the behaviour on Windows 10 (and Windows 11 Beta)

Platform

MS Windows 10 (and 11 Beta)
Windows Terminal 1.9.1942.0
rich==10.0.7.0

Possible explanation
It appears that setting this line:

console = Console(highlight=False)

overrides the use of the 'highlight=True' in this line:

console.print(Padding("1 2 3 4", (1,1)), highlight=True)

It unclear to me at this time whether there is any hierarchy controlling whether it is possible to override the systemwide setting of 'highlight' variable in the Console() function or not.

Should be fixed in v10.8.0
