Hello, It is the expected behavior. This is "User-defined"; i.e. for you to change. If your selection is surrounded by other cells from all sides, and to help you doing selection, a "BASE" selection by default is already made for the left and lower lines! But you are free to remove these and/or add others as you like!
Sebi: can you try again after deactivating this: Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View - Use Skia for all rendering Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED, if the problem persists. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.

Hello, It's strange your opinion. However, if i select a table cell and mark the upper border with red colour (for example), then i select the upper table cell and mark the bottom border with green colour (for example), the border remains with the red colour.
sebi: I think it would be helpful, if you created a video showing all the steps.

Would you please mention the document/paragraph direction (RTL) or (LTR)? and whether it happens when you shift direction. This would very much help in judging whether it is related to previous complaints or it is something new.
I have changed status to NEEDINFO. @Seb: Once you provide the requested information, I am pretty sure this will be a NEW or DUPLICATE.
(In reply to Riyadh from comment #11) > Created attachment 169622 [details] > writer default user-defined pre-made border line marking in table selection > > writer default user-defined pre-made border line marking in table selection This is a good point. Sorry, I was lazy in checking and understanding.

Hello! i did't enable "Complex text layout" option and the text entry is right-to-left (RTL). If i enable CTL and change text entry to left-to-right (LTR), the problem is the same with table borders. Thank you!
[Automated Action] NeedInfo-To-Unconfirmed
@Sebi: Thank you because you were accurate in description (and thank you because it is not CTL or direction switching issue!) Anyhow, it goes like this: At the bottom of Borders dialogue, there is the checkbox option: Merge adjacent styles. 1. If this checkbox is checked (it is checked by default): The adjacent border styles will be merged. So, if you choose to add a border on some side which lies between two cells, but you add the border twice for that side; once for each cell, then only one of them will show: the PRECEDING one. So if you choose to add red color for the upper side of cell X, then you go to the cell Y which lies directly above cell X, and add green color to its bottom side (which is also the upper side of cell X), then only the PRECEDING color RED will show. However, if you make one of them with more THICKNESS, then this is the one which will show. So, if you repeated the process of adding colors, but made the green color with more thickness, then only the THICKER color GREEN will show. 2. If the checkbox is unchecked, both borders will show. Would you please try the proposed explanation and confirm the results from your side. @Ilmari: I tried to find some documentation for this, but failed. Can you help in directing us to the appropriate documentation?

(In reply to Riyadh from comment #19) I confirm what you said. I think that's how it's designed.
