--- Comment #16 from Kevin <timbacontent at gmail.com> ---
I'm now on Win10 with Calc v. 6.4.4.2

I don't understand why you say "insufficient data". I've given you a
spreadsheet with rock-solid 100% reproducible steps. I will try them again now.

Here are the original steps with comments bracketed by ***'s. Note especially
the final paragraph, bracketed by ***'s. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the attached spreadsheet
2. select all the cells that have contents (rows 2-10 in columns B and C)
3. right-click and choose Format Cells (note: unlike earlier versions, if this
is the first time you've opened this dialog since launching the app, it will
take between 30 and 60 seconds to load)

***it only took 15 seconds, but still didn't give any visual indication that it
was working (like an hourglass icon)-even the 2nd time it took about 10 seconds
to open the format cells dialog***

4. go to the borders tab
5. click on the right-most vertical border 3 times, until no border is shown 
6. the "remove border" checkbox is now active - check it
7. now move on to the center vertical border and click that one three times,
until no border is shown (the border setting selected in step 5 now
auto-reverts to its previous setting)

Actual Results:  
the border setting selected in step 5 now auto-reverts to its previous setting

Expected Results:
The user should be able to make changes to the border settings in any order
without being forced by Calc to only work in a specific (and unexplained)
order. This is a cousin to the earlier report where Calc changes the font
properties of characters that have not been selected by the user.

***This still behaves exactly as described. I haven't worked on this bug for
over a year and I had no problem following my steps. What further clarification
are you looking for? The reason I got so frustrated with the Calc beta-testing
process is that the powers that be don't seem to understand the concept of
"first, do no harm". The idea is to fix what's wrong with Excel (there's so
much) without adding new problems.***
