Bug 51666

Hello Pinkus,

Could you provide more detailed description of what you are doing (how to reproduce it)?

Dear Valek:

I shall try to be as detailed as I can.

My spreadsheet worksheet was designed when I was using Open Office.
It has solid vertical lines dividing columns.
Now I want to alter some of the solid lines to either dotted lines or
no line at all.
I select a column, right click, choose formatting, select borders,
select what I require, select the right or left vertical line, click
OK.  Vertical line is changed.  Good.  Try to do the same with another
column ----  doesn't work.  Choose a different new line and it works
-  also only once.
It does not matter what type vertical line you start with, the process
will only work once for a given replacement line.
Close the program, reopen it and you can change another vertical line,
but only once.

I hope this has given you the picture of what is going on.  This did
not occur in Open Office.  Please try to fix this.  I do not want to
reinstall Open Office simplt to format my vertical lines more easily.

Regards
Pincus Weitzman

Aha... I see...
Can you try to detach toolbar with borders button and check if you can change borders with it?

Hi, Valek:

If by "detach" you mean put the borders button in a separate toolbar,
I tried it but it made no difference.

If detach means something else, please explain how to do it.

Created attachment 64154 [details]
Screenshot of the detached panel

Pincus, look at the attached screenshot.
At the side of the toolbar there is a dotted double line.
You can click on it and drag toolbar out.

The reason I'm asking is because I have a similar "work once" problem and detaching toolbar seems to be a workaround.

Now I cannot change any vertical line!!!!

What happen when you click on the border icon?

Can you press and hold for a second?

VALEK, when I pressed and held  the borders button, there seemed to be
a hesitation, but nothing changed.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU the problem is solved!!!!!!   TODAY  I UPGRADED TO
VERSION 3.5.5.  What a mess the previous version made of the
formatting of the cells.  There are extra lines everywhere, including
horizontals.  Now I have my work cut out fixing the formatting.

Thank you for your effort.  You can terminate the BUG REPORT.

Thank you for your bug-report.

I will check 3.5.5 on my system and ask people who filed similar bug to check for them.
