            Bug ID: 142430
           Summary: Table borders settings in writer not working
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: silvandy at katamail.com

Description:
The table borders in Writer tables have always been (and rightly so) locally
configurable, i.e. you could set some cells (those selected before invoking the
table properties dialog window) to show borders while other did not have
visible borders in the same table. Now this a seems impossible: you select some
cells, go to table properties and change something for their borders, but the
change is then applied to the whole table. This is of course very unfortunate,
you are unable to format complex event simple tables in the way you desire

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a new writer document, insert an empty table of some 6 rows and 5
columns
2. By default the table has borders on all edges.
3. Now suppose you want the 3rd rw not to have the vertical borders: you select
that row, open the table properties and move to the "borders" tab. There, in
the editable preview click on all vertical edges (left, central and right) so
that they disappear in the preview
4. When you click ok, your table should reflect the change, and be without
vertical borders on the 3rd row, while maintaining borders elsewhere. Instead,
all borders in the table are now gone except, inexplicably, for the bottom
horizontal border of the whole table, the only one that remained.

Actual Results:
Hiding borders for specific selected cells results in hidden borders for the
WHOLE table, except for the bottom margin

Expected Results:
As I have checked in 6.4.1, border settings applied to selected cells in a
table should apply to that cells only!


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
