It's supposed to be a feature =) > > You can click on the gray line to choose a new border style (first click), Here's that "feature =)" in action: 1. click on an empty cell with no formatting 2. set the border style to a fat red line 3. click until the border is shown as a grey line 4. okay the dialog nada ... no border is applied The user is given the ability to turn a line grey - and forced to always click through this option - and yet there is no case that I've found where said cumbersome option actually does anything. It's like walking into a dark room, but to get to the light switch, you have to first switch on two other switches but don't do anything other than give you access to the functional light switch. I understand why Calc would SHOW me a grey line and what it means; I don't understand why Calc gives me the ability to turn a line grey and forces me to make this decision every single time I need to remove a border - a border that Calc has put there against my will because it fails to implement Excel's wonder ability to "paste copied cells" above or below, thus allowing the user to control border formatting in bulk and not have use the format cells/border dialog every time to remove the unwanted additions.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
