Only the right part of the border is shown in column A (i.e. of a thick or double border line). You can see the full border in the print preview. And you are right: because it is not possible to scroll before column A or above row 1, the row/column headers overwrite the other part of the borders. You should add 1-2 pixels of empty space left of column A (or which ever column is next to the row list), and 1-2 pixels of empty space above row 1 (or which ever column is next to the row list). Yes, I know the user can work around it (page preview or let column A be empty and non-printed), but why not fix the problem and smooth the work flow - and beat Excel in this case. -- David I think this would look ugly in the common case that no cell has any borders. But another idea is to let the borders overdraw the row/column headers... That's a good idea but you'll have to change the row/colum list border colours then from black to grey: http://davelab.com/calc_border_overdraw.gif That's a fine solution. Here's the alternate idea with spacing: http://davelab.com/calc_border_space.gif Created attachment 24635 [details]
Spacing solution (not my prefered)

Overdrawing solution (I prefer this one)
ok, so this is not a defect but an enhancement. I re-assign it to requirements. On second thought I prefer a combination of the two screenshots: http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/24635/ calc_border_space.gif http://www.openoffice.org/nonav/issues/showattachment.cgi/24636/ calc_border_overdraw.gif One in which the spacing is used when the border of the spreadsheet touches the row or column lists so show here ends the spreadsheet. But when the user has scrolled away from the leftmost and/or topmost part of the spreadsheet there should be no spacing (to show the spread sheet continues) and borders should overdraw the row/colum lists (remember the row/column lists own border have to be grey and not black to make cell borders distinguishable from the permanent column/row list border). -- David OpenOffice.org Issue Tracker - Feedback Request.
