In my view, there would be no users who would want the cell border to cut through the text (aka the current behaviour). If a user doesnt like the current behaviour, they have the ability to manually set how they want the text to appear (e.g. merge, wrap), but doubt we want to set a document level option for what it should do in this circumstance. I'll let Eike give his opinion on this document level option?

We currently hide the border when you are typing in a blank cell or in edit mode (F2), so logic is already present for this behaviour. > This falls into that category of trying to make a spreadsheet do layout > feats it is not intended to do. This happens in Excel, Calligra Sheets, Gnumeric, Google Sheets, and Quattro Pro[1], so i would assume its not out of bounds of what a spreadsheet should do, especially when it improves UX. [1] If there is no assigned border, it will remove the grid border, but if there is a border, it will trim the text and show the border</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
