To reproduce:
1. Select several non-contigous cells by cntrl-clicking them.
2. Pick a border (either from Format->Cells...; Borders or from Border toolbar
button).
-> Error message appears: "Cannot apply border to multiple selection"
Workaround: create a style (Format->Styles and Formatting) with the desired
border, and apply it to the selected cells. This works fine.
Added "border" to summary, as other formatting I've tried works fine on multiple
selections. Changed type to RFE.
There's a bit of ambiguity as to how the desired functionality should work. If
you select a rectangular region of cells and add a border, it's added to the
region as a whole, not the individual cells. If the multiple selection is a
collection of individual disjoint cells, borders on the individual cells would
make sense. But what if the multiple selection includes individual cells and
rectangular regions? Or contiguous nonrectangular regions? Applying a style
avoids this problem by treating everything as a collection of individual cells,
but the border formatting is supposed to deal with regions as regions.
