Not sure when this first appeared as I haven't used non-default table borders for a while, but I don't recall seeing this behavior earlier. I'm using Ubuntu 64 bit 14.04 LTS with LibreOffice Version: 4.3.3.2 Build ID: 9bb7eadab57b6755b1265afa86e04bf45fbfc644 When doing Table Format - Borders, if I choose any doulbe line Style, the display in the dialog shows just a really fat border, although the border displays properly in the document. The problem with the display in the dialog box doesn't seem like it has anything to do with my own graphics, since the lines display fine in the drop-down box. But wait - it gets better! If I save the document and then reload it, any table lines that were originally double lines (of at least several flavors - I obviously haven't attempted every permutation) show up as blank. As far as I can tell, the color used doesn't seem to make a difference, and I've tried several different point sizes. I've located several bugs that appear similar (although not identical) but they've all been marked as Fixed.
try latest LibO 4.3.5.2 release and revert status to UNCONFIRMED if issue persists.
Also when you reply please give a test document and clear reproducible steps, preferably enumerated. Lastly, please keep it to 1 bug per report, even if they are similar, if there are separate issues (as there appear to be in this bug), please separate them into multiple reports. Please see: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugReport#Good_Reports for more information. Thanks
Created attachment 111982 [details] How to reproduce bug 88208 in two different Writer versions Thanks for the responses. Sorry you were unable to follow my earlier description; I hope the attached document contains enumerated instructions that are easier to follow. I've fiddled with this behavior some more, and there doesn't seem to be any doubt that it is reproducible using whatever techniques I could come up with to do it differently. I would have tried other Writer versions, but those referenced in the document (4.3.3.2 and 4.4.0.0.alpha2+) are the only ones I have loaded, although I can't normally use the 4.4 because of some of its bugs clobber my documents significantly. If you still can't reproduce the behavior I described, just close it, as it's not that hard to avoid using alternate table borders, and I realize there are certainly more serious bugs to work on. - Frank
Hi Frank, I can confirm this on Ubuntu 32 bits. The specific table border setting that you described, does show in the document, but after closing and reopening, it has gone. thick over thin all borders all other settings default tested in 4.2.8.2 and 4.4.0. beta2 When reopening the file in beta2 and looking at the tab Border, the line styles are all huge fat: width is set to 9 pt, instead to 0,05 When applying thin over thick line (and the rest the same) only horizontal borders are applied, and single line. closing and reopening, shows a different boarder style on all sides: double even, 0,15 pt. (both in 4.2.8.2 and 4.4.0. beta2) thanks for filing and explaining. Some more testing needed. Really looks as if every setting is changed on opening? Cor
