Not sure if this should be considered a bug or an enhancement, bug setting
cell borders in writer and calc are a major pain because cells that share
the same border visually can have different border settings and these border
dont play nicely together.

For writer, if you insert a table of 3x3, and in cell B2 you set the borders
to none, the left and bottom borders show as transparent but not the top and
right. I'm assuming the way the cells are being draw to make up the table
maybe causing it to look like this, as unfortunately there isnt a means for
me to open up the cell properties and see exactly what is going on. In order
to achieve what is intended, a user will likely have to jump through many
hoops to get the way it should be.

Strange and interesting.  I did not recognized it before in WRITER.  But for me
this is inconsistent and a buggy behaviour, because I see no reason for it.  

For calc, select a number of cells (e.g. C7:F16), and set their inner and
outer borders, then select one of the cells (e.g. E12) in the changed cells
and set its borders to none. You wont visually see a difference because the
cells around it all have their borders on. So in order to achieve what is
intended, a user will have to go to each of the 4 cells around it, open up
the formatting cell dialog and disable the related sides.

This is for me also inconsistent and a buggy behaviour, because I can't see any
reason yet.  Maybe anybody else has a good explanation?  For me as a normal
user this is buggy and annoying.  It is inconsistent for me, because inside a
table I have borders to distinct between cells.  If I want to change it, why do
I have to change it from "both" sides?  And in CALC I have also similar effect
as in WRITER.  If I set in a number of cells inner and outer borders and then
select only one cell within them and change the colour of the total outer
border it gets only changed at the top and on the left.

So the simple solution is that when a cell border is set or unset in any
manner (border width, style, color, etc), that its neighboring cells must
also be set or unset in the same way.

I would agree.  At least I don't have any idea yet, why it should not.
Maybe anybody else has also any further thoughts about these issues?


@Markus: Can you maybe also help with this issue?  Do you have an explanation? 
What are thoughts about it?
