Description LeroyG 2020-08-14 00:16:05 UTC 
Description:
The Border option¹ is useless when:
a. choosing menu `Table` - `Insert Table…`; or
b. pressing `Ctrl+F12`; or 
c. clicking `Insert Table` icon and choosing `More options…`.
With the three ways it opens the Insert Table dialog with "Default Style" preselected (which has borders).

Clicking the `Insert Table` icon (Standard toolbar): When Border option is checked, using the icon creates a table with borders; if Border is unchecked, it creates a table without borders.

¹ Choosing menu Tools - Options - LibreOffice Writer - Table, below New Table Defaults.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Choose menu `Tools` - `Options` - `LibreOffice Writer` - `Table`, below New Table Defaults, and uncheck `Border`, `OK`.
2.a. Choose menu `Table` - `Insert Table…`; or
2.b. Press `Ctrl+F12`; or 
2.c. Click `Insert Table` icon and choose `More options…`.
3. Press Enter.

Actual Results:
Creates a table (default size 2×2) with borders.

In LO 7.0.0.3: Table => Insert Table => "None" is preselected

So 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. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

If it is solved in version 7.0, I think the report can be closed.

I am still with 6.3.6.2 realese, and waiting for 6.4.7 to be released.

I prefer to change it back to NEEDINFO and wait until you're able to test (Bugzilla will remind you after 6 month).
