Description BDF 2026-01-27 16:52:21 UTC
Description:
The border of the colour selection palette for cell frames in the table settings is cut off at the window edge of the settings window.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open attached Writer document
2. Mark both lines and open the table settings 
3. add a colour to the border to the cell frame

Actual Results:
colour palette window is cut off

Expected Results:
colour palette window is _not_ cut off


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
The settings window can not be enlarged so this workaround does not work.
