Description: I have documents containing a lot of tables with moderately complex structure, i.e. some merged cells horizontally and vertically. See attached document TableBorderTest.odt. When I create or edit the document and save it, sometimes a part of the border of the leftmost table cell (which spans several rows) disappears. This is not only a display issue but is also visible in the exported PDF document. See attached TableBorderTest.pdf on page 31. When I set the cursor to a cell in the afftected table eare and for example insert a line break and delete it again, in most cases the border re-appears. See attached GIF image TableBorderTest.gif. Sometimes the effect then is visible at a complete different location in the document. I also opended the attachet ODT on another machine. All borders were there. Then I just enabled the Page Header in the Format -> Page dialog. This changed the layout around and a border disappears at another position in the document. This behavior makes the effect somewhat difficult to reproduce. But it seems to be there for several versions, I reproduced it on another machine using Libreoffice 5.4. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open attached TableBorderTest.odt 2. Zoom out and look for missing table borders in leftmost column. 3. If none are there, enable Header in Format -> Page dialog and look again Actual Results: Sometimes missing cell borders, also in PDF export Expected Results: All cell borders visible Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:

Please paste informationion from Help => About LibreOffice I you haven't treid the lates version please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Created attachment 152475 [details] Screenshot using LO Fresh 6.2.4.2 (x64)
I tested the Example document again on another machine running Windows 10 and the newest libreoffice fresh: Version: 6.2.4.2 (x64) Build-ID: 2412653d852ce75f65fbfa83fb7e7b669a126d64 CPU-Threads: 8; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: GL; VCL: win; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE Calc: threaded After opening the file the problem was not visible. I then enabled page headers (Format -> Page -> Header) (In my German version it is Format -> Seite -> Kopfzeile). Then the problem gets visible on page 11. See attached screenshot.
I confirm it with Version: 6.2.5.2 (x64) Build-ID: 1ec314fa52f458adc18c4f025c545a4e8b22c159 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE Calc: threaded and with Version: 6.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: ae823e4633a76d13cebc6432b9e44b9b2862326b CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2019-06-26_23:06:07 Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded Steps to reproduce 1. Open attachment from comment 1 2. Got to page 11 3. Enable header Result: Border of the first cell in the last row of table two gets lost.
Just to clarify, as the new title may be misleading: from my observations enabling the header just helps to reproduce the problem (disappearing cell borders) with the example document if it does not show up anywhere right after opening the document. I have had this issue with many documents containing tables with merged cells in the way it is in the multiple tables in the example document. Sometimes everything is fine and when I change something in the document and some tables get slightly moved around, the problem arises. So it does not seem to be releated to enabling/disabling the page header. This only makes it appear (and maybe also disappear in some cases) as the document layout changes.
Thank you for clarification. Feel free to change bug summary.
Repro OO 3.3 and LO 7.1+ Win and Lin per Comment 7, so I set All. Persists if ODT resaved in LO 7.1+, but not for me when I tried to delete tables before and after Table 2. Simple click in the cell with "4" restores the border, so I set Minor. Can be confusing so I leave Medium.
Dear cyberrob, 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.
