180% screenshot of table rules in 3.3.2
I have a document with hundreds of tables. I designed the table rules with the
corporate style. I've attached a screenshot of one of the tables, before and
after 3.3.4.
When I loaded the file into LibreOffice 3.3.4, the table rules exploded, as
shown in the second attachment. (Both attachments are taken with the document
at 180%.)
Here's how the upper-left corner cell is defined in the odt/content.xml file:
style:border-line-width-left="0.0139in 0.0139in 0.0139in"
style:border-line-width-top="0.0139in 0.0139in 0.0139in" fo:padding="0.0201in"
fo:border-left="0.0417in double #0000ff" fo:border-right="none"
fo:border-top="0.0417in double #0000ff" fo:border-bottom="0.0007in solid
#0000ff"
Here's how is looks in 3.3.4:
style:border-line-width-left="0.0417in 0.0417in 0.0417in"
style:border-line-width-top="0.0417in 0.0417in 0.0417in" fo:padding="0.0201in"
fo:border-left="3pt double #0000ff" fo:border-right="none" fo:border-top="3pt
double #0000ff" fo:border-bottom="0.05pt solid #0000ff"
As you can see, the border-line-width-left and top are getting tripled!
(B.T.W. 0.0139in = 1pt; 0.0417in = 3pt)
The new feature introduce in the 3.4.x series changed the way 'Table
Format>Borders>Line' is configured. All my double line borders are very wide,
hiding content in some cases.
The new Line configuration is done by 'style' & 'width' neither which seem to
produce a readable double line border.
This is a feature that has worked here since OOv. 1.02, quite a large archive
of documents affected, as are all my templates.

comparison of border lines style LO ver 3.5.1RC2 & LO ver 3.3.4 rendered in 3.5
On a newly created table, Table properties > table format > borders > line > style
The distance between the two lines is to small, it is hard to tell it is a
double line border style. The distance between the two lines used to be greater
~ x2, in ver 3.3 and before. This is using the 'line width' of .05 which is the
same line weight as the table. increasing the line width is not the solution,
heavier lines for the border are not wanted, more distance between the lines
is.
