Table line styles are not visible / not selectable. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open DRAW 2. Go to INSERT -> TABLE and select OK 3. Put the cursor in any cell of the table and make a right mouse click 4. Go to TABLE -> tab BORDERS 5. In the section Line Style select the arrow to open the Line Style drop-down list box Result: An empty box opens (only "None" and a single line is visible). If you move the mouse cursor up and down inside the drop-down list box you see that there are supposed to be more line styles. Reproducible with LO 4.4.0.3, Win 8.1.
Reproduced with all versions tested .. 3.3.0 at least shows the pt values :) The styles ARE selectible, though, so adjusting title.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I could reproduce this. Weird thing is loading line styles from an table on Writer is ok whereas both, Draw and Writer, use SvxBorderTabPage::FillLineListBox_Impl See http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/cui/source/tabpages/border.cxx#1029

Looks to me as the line color is just white and you don't see the alternatives. Should be fixed anyway.

The default border color is white in Impress / Draw (while in Writer it is balck). If you change the color the lines are rendered. However it still wierd that we don't see anything in that popup. Might be good to have an UX opinion here. I see the same issue for Writer tables, if I change the border color to white.

(In reply to Commit Notification from comment #12) > Affected users are encouraged to test the fix and report feedback. Works nicely for White but not the other bright colors. In fact, Light Gray 5 is now completely hidden on my theme. There is a solution for the style dropdown in Writer but not working in all situations (white on white or black on black). See also bug 115507.
(In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #13) Take a look at the solution for styles in the toolbar dropdown in bug 58161
A polite ping, still working on this bug?
(In reply to Xisco Faulí from comment #15) > A polite ping, still working on this bug? Hi Xisco, I am still working on this bug.
Design team discussed the current status: * Table line styles are not visible (Muhammet) + https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88961 + The first patch merged turns white lines to black, which makes them very hard to see on dark theme, and almost invisible on high-contrast theme + The second patch involves some trickery, and brings some improvements, but still not satisfied with the result (try different themes with different colors to see what I mean) + Why do we bother changing the color of the lines in the box? + What if we stop doing these tricky things, and make the style box just show the style and the color box just the color? (Just like the "Border Color" and the "Border Style" elements do in the Table toolbar) + It will be consistent with the rest of the UI + It will be always perfectly visible + We can also open an enhancement request to add a preview to the Borders tab of Table Properties dialog, like the one in the "Insert Table" dialog in Writer. + would require a preview that in fact we have under user-defined (line arrangement) + alternatively, show the line on a dedicated self-drawn rectangle similar to color dropdowns => go with the simple black line ignoring width and color
