File opened with LO 6.2.2

Attempted to confirm this using Ubuntu 18.04

Up to LO 6.0 (the Binary distributed by Ubuntu the file does not accurately render in the application. There are missing columns in the first table. I also think the table is supposed to have a background.

With LO versions 6.2 and 6.3Alpha the missing columns in the first table are rendered, but the table still has a blank background.

I don't have a full blown MSO to check with, used the latest WPS application (which uses MS libraries) to get an idea as to what MSO would display.

I won't set the status on the issue without hearing about the shading issue. If that isn't expected then I would say this is now WFM, otherwise is should set to new for the table background/shading issue.

Tables compared in MSO and LO

As Drew explained, first table is rendered fine in master 6.3+ so let's mark as WFM.

Tables printed from MSO

Grid Lines are seen but not printed in MSO. 
As for Grid Lines, LO shows them if embedded table is edited and doesn't show them in object. While different from MSO, behavior is consistent for ODT and DOCX. 
This seems logical to me and I wouldn't call it a bug. But that's a different issue anyway.
