Example:
You have a table where only for the outer border a border with a border style
is set.
╔╤╤╤╗
╟┼┼┼╢
╟┼┼┼╢
╚╧╧╧╝
Select the table and select NONE (border line style). → The border lines are
deleted (not only a style of the lines!).
Now again select a border line style. What do you expect?

As a work around if you click the border icon on the floating tool bar (top
line fourth icon from left) you can select the border style that you want and
it will apply  to the selected cells.

Though swapping the Icons on the floating menu may be a good thing, it does not
alleviate the fact that Clicking None locks the user from changing their mind
and wanting to change it back to a different style.

I don't know if this really is a bug.
The dropdown icons for the border line works like the fields for the same
functions in the table dialogue.
So one must define at first, which lines should be changed.
Selecting first the border type/lines, then one can define the attributes for
it.

Maybe it could be a good task to change the order of the dropdown icons:
Borders | Line Style | Line Color
