Hei hei!
I agree that page borders not being shown is a bug. It is weird that one
has to click on page preview and go back to editing mode, in order to
see them. In my opinion, it would be very practical to always have them
displayed!
Printing sheets and getting Calc to print "the desired amount of
content" is extremely difficult. Page borders help a lot in that
respect. Just recently, I found that Calc offers a scaling mode that
fits the print range to a certain number of pages. But this option is
also difficult to control and it makes printing different sheets with
different layout an extremely tedious job. To make things worse, this
dialog is hidden in the page formatting dialog instead of being placed
in the print dialog.
All in all, I think that constantly visible page borders would improve
Calc a lot.

Yes, I agree on that too. Why are bug submitters not being involved in
discussions? It is very frustrating to submit a bug report and (in some
cases) spend a lot of time to reproduce the bug or make documentation
like a picture, only for someone else to tell you to "shut up". Even if
something is not a bug, but an enhancement, a report should not be
closed that quickly.
Sorry, that had to be said ...

Hi Regina,
to make sure we are talking about the same "page borders": there are
slightly thicker lines in normal view indicating what is printed on a
page.
Ah, that are no "page borders", but that are the lines for "Automatik
page break". Therefore I was so confused. The color of this lines can be
set in Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Appearance, section Spreadsheet.
But they appear only after "print preview" for a sheet was executed.
Yes, I can confirm, that they are not shown initially. After switching
to "Page Break Preview" (in menu View) and back to "Normal" they are
shown. Calling "Page preview" and closing will do the same, and calling
page layout dialog and finish with OK or calling printing dialog as well.
If the bug reporter confirmes that "print preview" works for him I'll
close the bug with "NOTABUG" - any objections?
It is a bug (or a missing feature), that they are not shown immediately.
But that behavior is not new. It is there at least since OOo1.1.5. So
"NOTABUG" is not really true.
Another question is, whether you want to work on it. Because a lot of
actions trigger this lines, the "bug" is not severe. In OOo-times there
had been the large dump "OOo later" for such reports. You can confirm
the issue and set it to a low importance, or immediately close it with
WONTFIX. But WONTFIX sound always harsh for the reporter of the bug and
might discourage him to help in LibreOffice, so I would not use it.
Kind regards
Regina
