Created attachment 134971 [details] Cropped screenshot The top and left border of every page in Writer is rendered with a 2 px border. This makes them look a bit blurry compared to the left and bottom borders. I feel like using a 1 px border on all sides would look better.
Which edges of the page are affected depends on the zoom level.
The blurry border looks pretty nice, doesn't it? And on Windows all sides appear like this. So what's your OS/DE?
That screenshot was taken on Windows 10, and I can reproduce this on Windows 7. Since this depends on the zoom level, it seems to be a rendering artifact and not intentional. Especially on desktop environment with a flat design, like Windows 10 / KDE 5.10, a crisp border would look better, in my opinion.
So here are some test results, based on zoom level on my 1440x900 resolution. 100% - right missing 110% - top and right missing 120% - all sides missing 140% - right missing 160% - right missing 180% - bottom and right missing But even these results may change depending on various factors like if the sidebar is open or not. e.g. at 100% zoom, page 1 had all sides missing and page 2 had it appear only on the top side when the sidebar was disabled and then after enabling the sidebar, with it only showing its button bar, page 1 had it appear only on the left side and page 2 had it on the left and top sides.

The inner blur looks good as the page also has outer blur, but the page edge looks crisper/flatter without the inner blur. I'm on Linux Mint.

The document area of the UI is the same on any OS and this shouldnt change. So i checked MS Word 2010 and 2013 and they only have a 1px border. WPS Writer and iWork Pages dont have a border at all.

(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #5) > What happens with OpenGL disabled? I dont run with OpenGL on, as my hardware doesnt support it, and assume most users dont either, especially with how buggy the intel driver on windows is. One way or another, the OpenGL render is to mimic what appears in the default renderer, so not sure how this is relevant. Or was this question for Fabian? :D

And when it appears sometimes and others randomly at the same or different zoom levels, this complicates things more.
I was thinking to get rid of the blurry shadow here as it is quite computationally expensive (this implementation resizes a bitmap all the time) and most others Office suites don't use it anymore.
We discussed the topic in the design meeting. Flat design might be hip today but that could change. And on other OS like macOS (and also different themes) the shadow is wanted. So the recommendation is to fix the issue. Therefore I changed the summary from "Light grey inner border not always rendered" into "Page border drawing artifact". However, if the issue cannot be easily solved it's also acceptable to remove the additional 1px line and make the page border flat. (removing needsUX)

As Skia with Vulkan will replace OpenGL UI rendering on all platforms, it does not make sense to keep OpenGL UI reports open. Details about Skia: https://www.collaboraoffice.com/success-story/implementing-vulkan-capable-libreoffice-user-interface-using-the-skia-library/

There ares still artifacts, but they're a bit different now. There are faint squares in the corners of the page and when zooming out as much as possible, the border between two pages shows a glitch.
