this bug has some common symptoms with bug 46563 but is different; it can be reproduced with the attachment on that bug (but not with the steps in many of its duplicates). likely this problem affects more attributes than just borders. it is a regression from some SvxMSDffManager refactoring in impress212 that was recently merged in.
