Description DS 2018-01-03 02:21:53 UTC
Version: 6.0.0.1
Build ID: d2bec56d7865f05a1003dc88449f2b0fdd85309a
CPU threads: 4; OS: Mac OS X 10.9.5; UI render: default; 
Locale: en-US (en.UTF-8); Calc: group

In Writer, Format->Page->Borders, the borders -- especially the double line style of borders -- do not display or print properly, regardless of the width selected.

It works properly in:

Version: 4.3.7.2

LibreOffice6-BorderSample.odt is my attempt to create something similar to that using LibreOffice6.  The line style I selected for this test was the eleventh item in the style drop down box -- index 10 if prefer that.

Interestingly, the LibreOffice6 file displays a double line in LibreOffice3 for Mac, albiet not quite as desired.  See LibreOffice3-FromLO6File.tiff

That same LibreOffice6 file shows properly in LibreOffice4 for Linux.  See LibreOffice4-FromLO6File.tiff

I am trying to make a document with a red double line page border similar to what is shown in LibreOffice3-DoubleLine-2.5Pt.tiff

The source file, created in LibreOffice3 is LibreOffice3-DoubleLine-2.5Pt.odt

That file, when opened in LibreOffice6 shows as LibreOffice6-DoubleLine-FromLO3File.tiff

Again, those were created in LibreOffice3.  And they work in LibreOffice4 for Linux as well.

LibreOffice6-BorderSample.odt is my attempt to create something similar to that using LibreOffice6.  The line style I selected for this test was the eleventh item in the style drop down box -- index 10 if prefer that.

LibreOffice6-DoubleLine-2p5Pt.tiff is that file with the line width set at 2.5 point.

LibreOffice6-DoubleLine-5p0Pt.tiff is that file with the line width set at 5.0 point.

I am unable to make a double line border in LibreOffice6 for Mac no matter what I do.  I have tried many different styles and widths, and nothing displays properly for me.

LibreOffice6 just does not appear to render (or print) it properly.  Also, please note the  symbols in the corners of the LibreOffice6 screenshots.

I hope this helps!  If you need anything further, please let me know.

Comment 12 Buovjaga 2018-02-11 12:08:33 UTC
I confirm the problem of the double borders displaying as one solid border in 6.0.

However, master has Armin Le Grand's borderline fixes and this mostly makes it display OK. PDF export works perfectly.

The only glitches I see in master are that the lines cross outwards in the corners, depending on zoom level. This is seen in attachment 139035 [details] and attachment 139037 [details]

Armin: is this little corner glitch on your radar?

I was unable to verify this bug at this time because I am still using OsX 10.9.5, and your latest version of LibreOffice (6.3.3) would not run on it.  I believe it said it requires 10.10.  

I will attempt to verify it on one of our newer machines if I am able.
