--- 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.
