--- Comment #3 from ady <[email protected]> --- There is also Options > Calc > Grid. This is because Grid is not the same as Gridlines. BTW, it is not "Grid Lines" nor "Grid lines", but rather "Gridlines", in order to identify/differentiate the lines that separate between cells (or show their limits without being a cell “border”) from the other places where the term “grid” is used. So, IDK the reason to have "View Grid Lines" instead of "View Gridlines", and the same for other places. Perhaps it is just to make translations easier? As for: Menu Tools > Options > Calc > View > (Visual Aids) Grid lines > Show on colored cells What other spreadsheet tools do? How _they_ behave? IOW, which of the following naming alternatives matches the expected behavior (which might not be the behavior you seem to expect)?: * Show on colored cells only? * Show on colored cells too? And what is/was the (original) expected influence of the “menu View > View Grid Lines” setting, when combining it with the related “Options > Calc > View” settings? Is there a hierarchical precedence between these? Are these independent (e.g. current temporal view vs setting saved to document)? Considering recent modifications to other items in the View menu and in the Options menu, it is not so easy for me to know the original _expected_ behavior of each of those View items, nor whether they apply (perhaps temporarily on the live document, or per session) to the spreadsheet view (only), or they should actually be saved to the document (too). Actually, I have the same doubts about “menu Options > Calc > View” by now, because of the same reason. So, may I suggest to look at other spreadsheet tools and their behavior regarding this Gridlines setting(s)? I cannot check this by myself ATM, but I believe Excel behaves as Calc too, but I might be misremembering so please do not just trust my words (i.e. if possible, re-create the spreadsheet anew in Excel and review the Gridlines options and behavior). Please also keep in mind that the Gridlines settings are supposed to apply per (selected) worksheet, not per entire workbook. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
