Just my two cents:

This feature is really an essential one for all linguists working with 
"Optimality Theory" (phonology).
Working with this theoretical framework you need to draw tables with solid and 
dashed lines between 
the columns. Dashed lines really have a meaning here: two columns with a dashed 
line inbetween mean 
that they are ranked equally.

I'm really working on convincing as many people as possible to use OOo here at 
the university 
department. But such basic missing features are a huge drawback. I'm not a 
programmer but as far as I 
can see every other Word Processor available has the possibility to draw dashed 
(or at least dotted) lines 
in tables. OOo can only draw solid ones.

I really looked all the related issues (21378, 12949, 30847, 5929, 62003 and 
many other duplicates) 
for a long time and thought that if so many people have the same issue since 
2002 developers will 
some day include this. 

But this was in OOo 1.0! We are now at OOo 3.1 and 7 years later!

Why is this feature so complicated to achive?
