Description: I use dotted borders frequently in my spreadsheets, but the 6.x releases aren't rendering them correctly on my screen; previous versions (e.g: LO 5.4.x) rendered them fine, and other border types appear to render more or less* correctly. This seems to be a screen rendering bug only; cell borders render correctly when (e.g.) exported to PDF (but I have no need of that, so...) . Steps to Reproduce: Format any range of cells with the dotted border style. Actual Results: Dotted cell borders (and vertical i.e. left/right borders in particular) appear to alternate with a cycle of about 2/3 solid 1/3 dotted (the exact pattern seen may vary with zoom level). Expected Results: Dotted borders should render consistently for the given zoom level -- e.g. 100% zoom should render cleanly alternating pixels for that border. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I said "more or less" because the border preview (Format > Cells... > Border) also rendered several more border types incorrectly -- but on the actual screen (at 100% zoom) only dotted borders appear affected. This seems to occur regardless of whether hardware acceleration and/or openGL were enabled in the config.
Created attachment 148461 [details] Sample file with assorted border types 1 - Check how cell borders render at various zoom levels (especially 100%). 2 - Check how cell borders render in Format > Cells... > Border .
