This is the toolbar that has unexpected behavior

I'm trying to edit a fairly simple table...
I want it to have super thin grey lines so that I can practice my chinese

I plan to have 4 squares with a slightly darker border around them..

and the lightest grid inside of them that I can possibly get my printer to print that I can see..

I selected the whole table, and told it to be super narrow and medium grey.

I then started selecting squares and told them to apply the color black to just the outer borders of my selection by using the pallet in the table properties under border... these are labeled presets... and now I see that there is a way to "grey" keeping the other borders the same as they were... but if I recall correctly, in the past clicking one of these buttons kept the rest of the borders the same, rather than clearing them...

I lost a lot of borders.. and since libreoffice shows the grid even though it's not being printed... I actually wasted a whole lot of time thinking that I was getting the effect that I wanted, while I was essentially just making a grid that I could have just done with half as many rows and columns

Did you try unticking the "Merge adjacent line styles" check box?
Not really sure, what we have to test here as there are no exact steps.. If you want something to happen, please create more detailed steps.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.
