Re: [libreoffice-users] Writer: Why does adding a table border change the cell margins?

OK. Something is screwy.
I do 1-5 as you describe.
I can then put the cursor in the top row, Right-click and select Table > 
Border, select spacing to contents 0.1 and set a spacing.
I can then put the cursor in the top row, Right-click and select Table > 
Border, select spacing to contents 0.0 and the spacing is removed.
I can add/remove spacing to the top row only with Table > Border.

Now if I select the whole table and add spacing, then select the whole 
table and remove spacing the table then behaves as one no mater where I 
have the cursor when adding or removing spacing.
