Description: If a user wants to set different borderstyles to a group of cells it is not obvious how to do so. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select a group of cells (at least 2x2). 2. Open the cell formatting dialog (Ctrl+1). 3. Select the double-line border and set as the outer border using the button at the top of the screen. 4. Select the horizontal inner line of the group and select the single-line border. 5. Select the vertical inner line of the group. 6. Click OK and see the result. Only the vertical inner line has a single-line border. 7. Repeat steps 1 to 5. 8. Click on the horizontal inner line again. 9. Click OK and see the result. Now both horizontal and vertical inner lines have a single-line border. Actual Results: The result at step 6 is what I would logically do, but it results in a horizontal inner border with a double-line. Expected Results: The result at step 9 is what I would expect to be the state at step 6. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I discovered this behaviour after reading a question on the LibreOffice User Group on Facebook.

I tried to find something similar, but only found bug 103770 which is for the toolbar button.
The widget has a triple state / overloaded functionality: you select one or more borders to manipulate the attributes at once. And you can quickly change it on/off. I voted for simplification in bug 143249. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 143249 ***
