Description jlbraga 2017-01-01 11:24:20 UTC 
Hi.

Create some cells. Now select them and make visible only the outlines. Now increase the thickness of the outlines to the max. What you will see is that the corners don't get perfect. In fact, they disappear!

Working in debian-stretch with daily Linux dbgutil bibisect repository
version 2017-01-01, in a new worksheet, I observe ...

    In Calc, I selected cells B2:C3 and applied a 5-point border
    around the group.

    The program displays the visible border centered over the implicit
    border around the group, i.e., half inside B2:C3 and half in the
    horizontally and vertically surrounding cells, i.e., B1:C1, D2:D3,
    B4:C4, A2:A3.

    The program does not display the part of the visible border which
    would fall in the cornerwise adjacent cells, i.e. A1, D1, D4, A4.

    However, in .pdf export, ...

      - if the surrounding cells have no border specified, then the
        border around B2:C3 is complete, even showing "mitred"
        corners.

      - if the surrounding cells have border specified, then the
        border around B2:C3 is rendered as on the screen.


I agree that the handling of cornerwise adjacent cells is strange,
especially as pdf output differs from the screen rendering.  However,
I am leaving status UNCONFIRMED, as I am not sure what the correct
behaviour would be.

jlbraga,

Do you see what I described?  Were you working in Calc?

Meanwhile, I am setting component Calc and O/S All.
Comment 3 jlbraga 2017-01-02 20:24:00 UTC 
Oh, sorry for the delay.

No, I was not working on Calc, it was a table on Write, and my system is Windows 10.

please tell the LibO version you are using and provide a screenshot.

The corners should be improved...
Comment 6 tommy27 2017-01-03 21:13:31 UTC 
ok, which LibO version do you use?
Comment 7 jlbraga 2017-01-03 21:19:28 UTC 
5.4.2.2, I thought I had selected that option in the page top, but it was not even marked. Now it is.
Comment 8 tommy27 2017-01-03 21:47:50 UTC 
I confirm issue under Win8.1 x64 using LibO 5.2.4.2 and 5.4.0.0 alpha

probably this bug has already been reported before since I'm somewhat reminiscent of something similar.

we should seek on bugzilla for a potential duplicate
