I don't use tables much, and I've not noticed the following before today. This is with LO 5.4.0.3 (Build ID: 1:5.4.0~rc3-0ubuntu0.16.04.1~lo1) on Mint 18.1 (64-bit).
I insert a table, R-click and select table properties, then try to change the line style/colour:
1. Set line style to 'none'. The lines disappear correctly, but it's impossible to get them back -- subsequent views of the properties dialogue show the lines to be solid style (they're not), and changes are ignored.
And it behaves inconsistently and not repeatably on occasion. I've had the following while testing the above
2. changing to dashed line affects all but the bottom line, which remains determinedly solid.
3. changing colour changes all the lines; but trying to return to black sets all but the bottom line to black.
But I can't reproduce these now :-{
All a bit weird. Anyone else had similar issues?
