Linux Mint 19
Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 1647bc1309dcd313dff2614f4844b71b1c558dee
CPU threads: 2; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: threaded

Confirmed but super minor issue.

James:
You can do additional work to help resolve this problem. First and foremost, you could check against LibreOffice 3.3 to see if this is a regression or if it was inherited from OOo. If it's a regression, there are additional steps we can do to help triage the problem for a developer.

still repro in

Version: 7.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: 94f6765d6ecc3145fa2d266231124003cf953118
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

but I don't think it's a bug. Excel creates cell borders by different logic. It has only one border for two adjacent cells. 

And my opinion here it will never "fix" in LibreOffice.

Mike, do you have any thoughts?

I agree that it's a minor bug for most. But, it is critical for some. Our company's entire sales process is based on copying price quotes from spreadsheets and sending over email. So, this issue basically prevents us from using the software and forces us to stick with MS products for time being.

Dear James A,

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
