Description tpeterb2 2025-08-26 08:30:08 UTC
Description:
In LibreOffice calc, when I use the hide grid lines setting, the lines disappear, but when the file is re-opened, the grid lines are back. Is it possible to make this setting stay in the file, when saved?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. set "hide grid lines"
2. save and close the file
3. re-open the file --> grid lines are now showing again

Actual Results:
In Calc, go to options/LibreOffice Calc/View/Visual Aids
Set Grid lines to "Hide"
Save and close the file
Re-open the file --> grid lines are now showing again

Expected Results:
Grid line setting to be saved with the file


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
Grid line setting to be saved with the file

Thanks for the reply. :)

Apologies... I should have mentioned that I normally save spreadsheet files in Excel format, rather than ODS.


As an experiment, I tried saving the same file in ODS format, and the problem did NOT occur, so I'm hoping that this piece of information provides some help to anyone who might be looking into this 'bug'.

Thanks again.

Confirm with

CPU threads: 16; OS: Linux 6.14; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3

In xlsx hide grid lines is not preserved after reopening the file.
