--- Comment #8 from Jim Avera <[email protected]> --- > I think it would be better to uncheck 'Merge with next paragraph' in the > first > line where you set the border. Thanks @Saburo for pointing that out. Un-checking that make the missing border appear, which is at least a work-around. I think there is still a bug here: The man page for "Merge with next para" says: "The rules can be condensed to the statement that the stronger attribute wins. If, for example, one cell has a red border of 2 point width, and the adjacent cell has a blue border of 3 point width, then the common border between these two cells will be blue with 3 point width." Here are the settings for the three paragraphs in the right-hand column: Para #1: Borders: None; Padding: 0 on all sides Para #2: Borders: 0.5pt black top; Padding: 0.02" Top, others 0 Para #3 (RED): Borders: 0.5pt black top; Padding: 0.02" Top, others 0 ---- If I increase *bottom* padding in para #2 from 0 to 0.02" then the top border of the third paragraph appears. However that pushes the para#3 text downward undesirably (so it does not line up with paragraphs in the first column). But strangely, if I increase only the *top* padding in para#2 from 0.02" to 0.50" (leaving bottom padding at zero), then the top border of para#3 appears! This seems to make no sense i.e. if the "Merge" rule was comparing the bottom of para #2 with the top of para #3 then changing the top of para #2 should not have any effect. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
