Bug example

When you select for example 3 cell's in a row and merge them ,then go to Format
> cells , from the cells format select Borders tab:
- For line arrangement select "Set All Four Borders"
- For line style select "1.10 pt"
- Click "OK"
You will get the cell borders and everything is fine.

Go to Format > Sheet and select "Right-To-Lift"

You will notice the borders you selected before vanished.

I have made a sample sheet for testing, you can find it in the attachment.

You will notice that the issue just happens with merged cells but if you
applied
the borders to one cell only the borders will not disappears.

Borders: that one is for me.
Comment 2 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2012-05-23 14:36:55 UTC
can reproduce it in LO 3.5.4, OOo 3.4beta, OOo 3.3, OOo 3.0.1,
does not look like a regression
Comment 3 abdulmajeed 2013-03-02 10:49:04 UTC
can reproduce it in 4.0 Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit 
to make things more clear in RTL sheet you can't add borders to any merged cells 
and if you do you can't see it but if you moved LTR sheet you will be able to see it.

Since the time i reported this bug i followed and tested with all Libreoffice releases hoping this bug gets fixed but unfortunately that didn't happen, now i use Ubuntu 15.04 and libreoffice Version: 4.4.1.2 is installed by default and the bug still present.
Comment 6 Omer Zak 2017-11-01 19:41:58 UTC
When trying to reproduce the bug in version 5.4.2:
There is no Format > Sheet
There is Sheet > Right-to-Left

When merging 3 empty cells (1st group of merged cells - E3:G3) and setting their borders as per instructions, the borders did not vanish.
Then I merged one cell with text with 2 empty cells (2nd group of merged cells D6:F6) and set their borders.
The second group's borders did not vanish, but the first group's borders vanished in RTL and reappeared in LTR.
Then I merged 3 other empty cells (3rd group of merged cells B20:D20). The borders were set as above without my explicitly setting them. The borders did not vanish in RTL, but the borders of 1st and 2nd groups vanished in RTL and reappeared in LTR.

Conclusion: it seems that borders are shown in RTL only for the most recently merged cells.
