file with example problem printing dotted style

Do not print or pieces stamps this border style cells. Dotted style. 
Print has been tested many printers. For example: HP LaserJet 1000, 1018, 1200, 1300; Canon LBP-1120, 2900; Xerox 3100 MFP; and others.
When exporting a document to PDF, problem remains.
Аs well on the forums the same problem from other users.


It is very important for the forms, which are issued by government agencies. Printing with a modified style is not permitted. 

In MS Officio - style points it prints well on the same printers.

Reproduced with same LibO version, same OS. Recurrent issue.

Closely related to (all NEW):
- bug 68148 (single line cell borders turn dashed when opened with different LibO release)
- bug 55266 (Some cell borders (double line) don't work)
- bug 42339 (EDITING and VIEWING cell borders differs from expected and PRINTING)

Losely related to Writer's table printing (all NEW):
- bug 71790 (Use of dotted paragraph border makes exported PDF files huge)
- bug 44015 (bad display of dashed table border)
- bug 68764 (table borders appear different when printed)

Could be a regression for the RESOLVED FIXED:
- bug 37129 (Dotted and Dashed table borders are not drawn correctly)

Users are rightly expecting that the resolution of a bug encompasses an overall check of the domain ("If this point failed, check its neighbouring and correct it globally, whether other bug reports or not").

Border lines in Calc will have complete rewrite in LibreOffice 4.3 - see posts at http://kohei.us/:

Could you please recheck your files with current daily build of LibreOffice?

Probably border lines changes will INVALID-ate those bugs...
