The LibreOffice Calc cannot overwrite the border style of an adjacent cell, if we try to modify the border style of the active cell.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new spreadsheet (save as *.ods or *.xlsx) with LibreOffice Calc
2. Set the A1:C10 cells border style to a simple (1 pt width, black) continuous line
3. Try to modify only one cell (B5) border to “- none -”

4. Do the same (save as *.xlsx) from the beginning in Microsoft Excel 2010/2013/2016

Actual results:
We cannot modify a simple cell border (we have to select at least 2) in LibreOffice Calc, if we have already set a cell border for a larger range. We can modify it with Microsoft Excel.

Expected results:
We should modify a simple cell border in LibreOffice Calc, even if we have already set a cell border for a larger range.

(This is probably a dupe, sorry in advance if that is the case)

I can confirm in:
Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 89a60912bba7ffd6f65ea99f4664f343c5025c95

Locale: bs-BA (bs_BA); Calc: threaded

It is inherited from OOo.

The only way to set one cell unbordered is right click-> Format Cells->Set no borders and check box Remove border.

So I tried this again in LO 7.4 and I can change the border of a single cell if I check the option "Remove border" in "Adjacent cells".

Is this bug still valid?

Dear Gabor Kelemen (allotropia),

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
