I can confirm with Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ / LibreOffice Community Build ID: c13db6e792cc347ffff4585f23866f195651f21f CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded Jumbo Looks like unfinished feature: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/120262
(In reply to raal from comment #1) > Looks like unfinished feature: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/120262 That's right. I didn't assign it to myself due to the difficulty of implementing the feature. Working on it by myself, don't know how much time it will take. Anyone is welcome to contribute on https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/120262
Hmm… Users may be confused if the UI is implemented even though the functionality has not been implemented yet. Shouldn't the UI be implemented when the functionality has been implemented?

Definitely. > Shouldn't the UI be implemented when the functionality has been implemented? The problem is Calc and Writer use the same 'Borders' UI (svx/source/tbxctrls/tbcontrl.cxx, see https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/118951). Therefore, any change will be made on 'Borders' tab, will affect both Calc and Writer UI. In my opinion, (since diagonal borders work well on Calc, but doesn't work on Writer), it should be possible to hide diagonal border icons on 'Borders' UI just for Writer (until the feature is implemented). I have to look at the code-base first. If it's possible to hide them, then I'll send a patch for this. Thanks!.

Confirmed with 7.4.0.0a0. Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: eb69767d7c1bb8e6e780fd9503f08c9d7f5ecb45 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19042; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: ja-JP (ja_JP); UI: ja-JP Calc: CL
Will it be reflected in 7.3?
(In reply to JO3EMC from comment #7) > Will it be reflected in 7.3? According to the commit notification above (comment #5), it will be available in 7.4.0. So, it wouldn't be reflected in 7.3.
Oh, it could be a treatment in the distant future, isn't it...
(In reply to JO3EMC from comment #9) > Oh, it could be a treatment in the distant future, isn't it... maybe. diagonal borders feature was started to implementing in 2000 until 2004. (don't know why developers had stopped the development). I also think that this feature is one of the most-needed feature in LibreOffice. Let's see what happens in the future :)
