> Please read chapter "User Defined Borders in Cells" in the help.

Here's what it says: "A gray line is shown when the corresponding line of the
selected cells will not be changed. No line will be set or removed at this
position."

First, it says "cells", plural - only one cell is selected.

Second, and more importantly, there is no line to remove and as the Help file
tells us: "no line will be set or removed at this position". In other words,
the grey line is not something that the user should be able to "set". The grey
line should be SHOWN, to inform the user, but should not be present in the
sequence of states that occurs as you repeatedly click on the corresponding
line location. If the grey line is there, the user should be able to click it
to make it go away, but there's no logical reason for the user to click where
there is no grey line in order to place one there.

If I'm missing something, please explain to me what the difference is when I am
editing a single cells with no borders and I choose between white and grey? If
there's no difference, why is it showing me grey as a choice.
