Created attachment 49886 [details] Screen shot of borders not terminating correctly 1. Insert table (3 rows, 3 columns) 2. Put cursor on table and from Menu: Table > Select > Table 3. From Menu: Table > Table Properties 4. Select outer border and set the style to the first double line style of the list. 5. Set the thickness of the outer border to 1.00 pt. 6. Merge the cells of the top row. The result is that the inner border lines do not terminate where they touch the border that limits their length, but extend beyond it by a small amount. This is clearly visible in the screen and is also noticeable when printing.

The bug is changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.

Created attachment 58877 [details] Double border table in 3.5.2rc0. Still a problem with merged cells in 3.5.2rc0.
3.5.2.2 Final exhibits the same behavior as the one I describe for 3.5.2rc0
so most of this is fixed (see bug 48647), but as described in comment #5 the problem still remains if cells are merged.
Yes, the problem remains for merged cells. This also applies to LO 3.5.4.2.
The problem remains for merged cells with 3.5.5.3. I cannot deploy this program until this is fixed.

Created attachment 65184 [details] ScrnShot of Mixing single and double borders problem. Tried it in 3.5.6rc1 in Windows. It looks much better, but there are still a few little issues when mixing double and single borders on a table (something that is quite common). See the attachment above for a screen shot of the issues.
@rm42: as the subject says, this bug is about borders in "merged cells". please file a new bug for painting bugs in non-merged cells (and set the "regression" keyword if appropriate).
Gotcha. Thanks for the good work so far.
