--- Comment #4 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
I'm not sure what I should do with this regression (which is connected to bug
41542). The problem is that the document's paragraph properties define a
synchronized padding value for all four borders - instead of only defining the
spacing for the border that is showing. Before 5.3, LO improperly (according to
ODF specs) ignored that padding setting.

So, it is not really a current bug. Unfortunately, in various ways LibreOffice
previously allowed you to create improperly designed documents that specified a
spacing that it didn't display.  (Usually LO automatically sets the value to
zero when a border is removed.)

The way to fix up the document in <=LO53 is to enable the 4 borders, reset the
spacing to 0, unsynchronize, clear the borders except for the desired ones, and
then set the desired spacing for those borders.  (It is easier in LO54 because
the UI ALWAYS allows editing of the padding - they are never grayed out.)

I'm going to mark as notabug. I can't imagine any way for the computer to know
when the document was designed to work one way or the other. These documents
will just need to be fixed manually.
