paragraph with dotted border
The problem does not only exists for tables, but for other borders too.
Attached is a file, where the paragraph "2 paragraph dotted" should have a
'dotted' border. It is rendered in something more like a hatching than 'dots'.
The underlying specification of CSS2 has only the text "The border is a series
of dots." without saying what a "dot" is. The upcoming specification of CSS3 is
more accurate. It says "A series of round dots."

Open the attached file and export it to EPUB and open the result e.g. in
Microsoft Edge. You will see little circles.
Because all browsers and EPUB show round dots, I think it is time to make true
round dots in LibreOffice too. The current way is at least for wide borders far
away from "dot".
