Description rrosner5 2024-07-25 10:44:27 UTC
Description:
When you have a table without any of the outlines/borders between and around the cells, Writer will still show them as a thin gray outline. And they won't disappear when the table isn't selected anymore. In Draw and Impress, these outlines will disappear when the table isn't selected, making it very difficult to select a partially filled table.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. insert a table
2. remove all visible borders

Actual Results:
see above

Expected Results:
see above


Reproducible: Always

Menu/View/Table Boundaries.
Comment 2 rrosner5 2024-07-25 18:14:01 UTC
There isn't such an option. Not in Draw, not in Impress. And also not in Writer.

Screenshot table boundaries with Writer

They are in Writer.
Comment 5 rrosner5 2024-07-26 08:22:10 UTC
Indeed, but Writer isn't the issue.
Comment 6 Heiko Tietze 2024-07-29 07:58:28 UTC
Sounds reasonable to have .uno:TableBoundaries in Impress/Draw too.
