Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select all Table
2. Set all border lines to thin (e.g. 0.05)
3. Set outer border to fat (e.g.1.0)

Current behavior: inner lines turn to yellow

Expected behavior: inner lines unchanged as the menu promises

Comment 1 Sciuriware 2012-03-28 09:20:33 UTC
As far as I know there's no workaround:
for 3.5.1 I just can't re-style borders of any table.
;JOOP!
Comment 2 Daniel Bankston 2012-04-01 17:48:50 UTC
I was unable to reproduce on master.
Comment 3 Sciuriware 2012-04-01 23:21:18 UTC
Tomorrow 3.5.2 will be released; I'll try that,
otherwise I have to go back to 3.5.0 or earlier.

;JOOP!
Comment 4 Sciuriware 2012-04-02 00:21:05 UTC
I experimented some more on 3.5.1;
sometimes I get fat yellow or even red lines BEHIND thin black lines,
depending on the line thickness and colour I choose.

;JOOP!
Comment 5 Sciuriware 2012-04-02 00:55:46 UTC
I hereby WITHDRAW the bug:

I found that for some reason in Tools-> appearance the table boundaries
were marked [v] on with the colour YELLOW.
I switched the option off and the problem was gone.

I only wonder why the yellow lines appeared only on some inner table lines.

Thanks for your time.

;JOOP!
Comment 6 Petr Mladek 2012-04-05 01:19:54 UTC
According to the previous comment, the original bug seems to be fixed => closing this bug.

I am not sure why only some inner lines went to yellow, so adding some Writer developers into CC. Anyway, if it is broken, we should open separate bug for this. Too many problems discussed in a single bug might cause confusion.
Comment 7 Sciuriware 2016-03-06 14:16:13 UTC
This bug suddenly is back in release 5.1.0 (on OSX 10.11.3)

Please investigate.
;JOOP!
Comment 8 Sciuriware 2016-03-13 16:04:00 UTC
Bug is back in 5.1.1.3
Does anybody read this?

Combined screenshot showing the problem

The attachment shows 2 tables, the lower table is a copy of the upper one.
The dialog 'tries' to show the operation on the lower:
thicken the outer border only.
Unfortunately a tooltip disappeared during the screen capture.

On the other hand: this was produced by 5.1.1.2 on OSX 10.11.4
You suggest that (at least on LINUX) the problem has been solved again in 5.2.0.0
If that's the case, let's await the 5.2.0 distributions.

I don't see a recent MAC version in that list; I think I will await 5.2

Thanks, I will try it 1st thing in the morning tomorrow.
;JOOP!
Comment 15 Sciuriware 2016-04-09 20:31:59 UTC
I could not wait so I tried it.
First it crashed in the middle of the table operation.
I gave it a second chance and it failed just like version 5.1.2

;JOOP!
Comment 16 Sciuriware 2016-04-11 08:17:51 UTC
I went back to 5.0.1 : this bug is also in that release.
May be it was re-introduced with 5 at all.

Now, I wonder why should this bug ONLY appear in the MAC version?
Can someone find back what the cause was in version 3.5 and how
this bug was repaired then (back in 2012)?

;JOOP!

The only thing I can think of is that we do something different.

If you want to be extremely sure, you can do a video of how you do it.

I tried it with two different ways myself and didn't get the yellow lines.

Screen video to show problem

This was new to me: I installed Screencast-O-Matic 2.17 for this purpose.

Not visible in this free version app is that I close the Table Format dialog
by the OK button below.
Hope this helps.

Tried again with precisely that workflow and no yellow problem.
Comment 23 Sciuriware 2016-04-17 20:43:22 UTC
I tried again; this time I hit the little icon on the right (the 5th)
("Set Outer Border Without Changing Inner Lines")

Now, this works as requested.
And, now, I don't understand the difference with the 2nd icon .....





Well, consider it solved.
