with thin black borders by default.
However the borders are YELLOW and very hard to see.

YELLOW lining

Black borders


Reproducible: Always

Created attachment 154139 [details]
Writer document with text before and after conversion

I created the attachment as follows:

created an empty document,
entered a few pairs of text, TAB separated,
copied the text to a lower spot,
applied the conversion to the second set.

@Joop : if I take your document and open it in 

Version: 6.3.1.2
Build ID: b79626edf0065ac373bd1df5c28bd630b4424273
Threads CPU : 4; OS : Mac OS X 10.14.6; UI Render : par défaut; VCL: osx; 
Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); Langue IHM : fr-FR
Calc: threaded

I can't see any borders at all around the table.

If I select the table, then activate the border property, I get black borders by default.

If I create a new Writer document from scratch, enter three lines of paired words separated by tabulations, copy/paste those values to another area in the document, select them and convert to table, I get a table with no borders by default.

No repro for me, sorry.

By any chance, have you defined a colour other than the default under Preferences > Interface Colours > Table Borders ?

I can't see those yellow borders either: yellow on white!
Indeed, I can use the mentioned workaround to get black borders.
Remains, this is different behaviour from before: i.c. a bug.

Again, those yellow borders are hard to see.

Confusing: the given path does not seem to exist on macOS.

Preferences gives the Options dialog, in which I found:

LibreOffice > Application Colors > Table boundaries (I've never been there before)

In my case, indeed it was set to yellow 2
When I set it to automatic, at least I can see the grey default.

Now, I can't remember when was the last time that it gave black by default.
I'm a LibO user ever since the split-off from OpenOffice, so,
that's a long time to remember details.

Let's say that the case can be closed by now, as the situation has become clear to me.
Thanks for your contribution.
;JOOP!
