After setting the background colour of a cell in a table a small frame around the cell stays white, but I want the whole cell to be filled. The white frame depends on the distance to content-settings in the table settings dialog.
And you do not want set the distance to content to zero ? You have the problem only if you set the background color for one isolated cell. Workaround: select 2 adjacent cells, define the background color as you want, select the second cell and redefine the background color to white. Does it works for you ? Best regards. JBF
(In reply to comment #1) Hello and thank you for your help! > And you do not want set the distance to content to zero ? No, because I want to have some distance between the text in the cell and the border. And I can't remember to have hat this behaviour in earlier versions of libreoffice. > You have the problem only if you set the background color for one isolated > cell. Yes! And now I found out what is the problem. If I want to set the background from one isolated cell, then if I make the setting over the cell-background-symbol in the table-symbol-list the background of the paragraph is set and not the background of the cell. If I make the setting over the table-formatting-dialogue it works fine. If I want to change the background of more than one cell it works fine with both methods.
You're right. It is more clear if you activated extended tips (Tools > Options > LibreOffice > General). The background color button in the table toolbar is intended for paragraph background, not for cell background. So closing as NotABug. Thank you, we have learned something :-) Best regards. JBF
> The background color button in the table toolbar is > intended for paragraph background, not for cell background. OK. But wouldn't it be a little more logical, to change with the background color button in the table toolbar the cell-(table-)background and not the paragraph background? Best regards. Thomas
