--- Comment #6 from Barry L. Kramer <[email protected]> --- Please let me clarify what I was originally reporting here, as the title of this issue doesn't really reflect the issue that concerned me. The problem I was describing is that there is something wrong with top and bottom padding of a table cell, whereas the left and right padding of a table cell work correctly (and can be adjusted per cell). I will attach another file which is just a new file with a simple 4x4 table inserted. These simplified instructions show my concern. To set this up: open the bug 165275test1.odt file click in any table cell table select table table properties borders(tab) leave [x] synchronize enabled, and set left (therefore all) to 0.4 in; OK --> observe that (correctly) all cells have visible top, bottom, left, and right padding. To see the issue: Click in any cell such as B2 table select cell table properties uncheck [ ] synchronize in Padding, change Left to 0, OK. --> observe there’s (correctly) no left padding. table select cell table properties uncheck [ ] synchronize (if checked) in Padding, change Bottom to 0, OK. --> observe that (incorrectly) it didn’t do anything. Bottom padding is still 0.4 in. Expected behavior is the text "B2" should be against the bottom cell border with no bottom padding. If padding (left, right, top, bottom) can be specified for individual cells (which it should be), then all four should be able to be set individually and independent of other cells that are not selected when it is set by the user. I reiterate this point from my original report: Padding is not a line style and is neither a border nor part of the border. Rather, padding is part of the cell content (an attribute of it), so it shouldn't be merged to adjacent cells that share a border unless of course multiple cells are selected when changing padding. And certainly, Left/right padding should not act differently from Bottom/top padding. That is inconsistent.
