--- Comment #4 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #2) > The cell format is independent from the neighbor. So, there's what Regina said. But even more fundamentally - since the borders of cells also extend into adjacent cells, that aspect of cell format is not independent from neighboring cell formats. > I don't think we need to care about clashing information. If our properties dialog say one thing, and our rendering shows another thing, I think that's something we need to care about. > You would not expect similar effort for stacked > objects. This is over-engineering. But spreadsheet cells are: * Not stacked objects, and * Not drawn like stacked objects. The logic is rather idiosyncratic. Note that this bug is not a request to draw cells differently - it's about the inconsistency between the dialog and the rendering. Given that there is no desire to change how we draw cells (I personally have no strong opinion about this and am not asking for that to happen), what we should do IMNSHO is to indicate to the user somehow that the border they see in the dialog will currently be ignored because of other borders. This is not a trivial UI challenge, since the borders UI is already quite heavy with capabilities and bits of information, but it may still be possible without making things more clunky. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
