Bug ID: 164112
Summary: cell border dialogue does not display current borders
for a cell
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.2.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In the otherwise excellent Format->Cells->Borders dialogue, when I click on a
border for a cell, that border thickness is automatically changed to whatever
value is in the Thickness dialogue box, rather than displaying the current
thickness of the border.
This is a problem because I might not want this. Unfortunately, it is
impossible to distinguish the the Hairline, Very Thin, and Thin thicknesses
from each other when looking at the dialogue. They are displayed as the same
thickness in the dialogue, the spreadsheet, and print preview. I have to
actually print the page to see if my thinner borders are the ones I want.
The solution would be for the Thickness dialogue box to display the current
thickness of a border when that border is clicked, rather than automatically
changing that border to whatever value is in the dialogue box.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. assign a Very Thin border to a cell
2. bring up the Edit->Cell->Borders dialogue for that cell
3. look at the border just assigned and see that it cannot be distinguished
from Hairline or Thin, so you don't know which border you have chosen if you
don't remember
4. look at the Thickness option: it says Thin by default
5. click on the border just assigned
6. observe that the border changes to Thin, rather than displaying the
thickness of the border as it was when the dialogue was opened
Actual Results:
When "5. click on the border just assigned" above is done, the border is
changed to Thin, despite the fact that I don't want that. I just want to know
which border thickness I actually chose.
Expected Results:
When "5. click on the border just assigned" above is done, the Thickness option
would display the thickness of that border as it is right now.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
