A screenshot of the border-style icon.

The borderstyle-icon inside the "formatting" toolbar is separated into two clickable areas. First, the icon itself and second the arrow area on the right, which should display all available borderstyles in a submenu (see attached screenshot with the labeled areas). 

Intuitively one would expect, that, if a certain style is selected by clicking the arrow (marked as "2" in the screenshot), this borderstyle is remembered - and that this remembered style can be re-applied to selected cells by clicking the icon (marked as "1" in the screenshot) itself.

Currently LO does *not* remember the last used borderstyle and both areas behave the same way - they both open the submenu displaying all available styles. There is no functional difference between the two areas.

May be this bug applies to other icons (all?).

Indeed - I would call this an enhancement request since it seems to work as it was designed (but it should be changed)

Thank you for reporting this enhancement request! I can confirm that this is a valid enhancement request on:

As I've been able to confirm the enhancement request I am marking as:

High - this would make the border styles button behave the same as every other similar button (highlight, font color, background color) which seems to be ideal.
