testcase

The border used in the attached testcase is wrongly displayed by openoffice, especially at small zoom factors (it seems libreoffice tries to compensate for the zooming and makes a huge mess of the result)

It appears very strong and coarse when it's in fact quite slight when printing

Changing it to a dotted line "fixes" the border display but makes it too slight for printing

As a result, both border styles are unsuitable to contextes when an electronic document must look good on-screen and also when printed

The same border style displays fine, WYSIWYG-style, in word 2007

uhm, something is going very wrong with how these dashed border
lines are painted; just zooming in and out on the bugdoc changes
the number of line segments; also it looks quite different on
LO 3.4.6, LO 3.5.4, and master... what is going on here?

and yes PDF looks different from on-screen display.

works fine in 3.3.4
bug already present in 3.4.3 and persists in 4.1.2
hence regression of early 3.4.x development

tested under Win7 64bit.
any Linux and Mac user could provide feedback as well?

this is substantially fixed in 4.2.1 thanks to Kohei's commit 9a19e8d838753128504274e1885eb3ce8ec1dbb8
"fdo#73487, fdo#73886: Overhaul cell borders to make them look sane."
