Table guidelines lost is upgrade

Hi all,
In all previous versions, tables with no cell margins (in Writer) always had grey lines that do not print to show the table rows, columns, and cells. This has disappeared in the latest version.

The image without the guides was taken from
Version: 25.2.0.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e1cf4a87eb02d755bce1a01209907ea5ddc8f069
CPU threads: 16;
OS: Linux 6.11;
UI render: default;
VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-ZA (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Flatpak
OS: Ubuntu 24.10
Window manager: Gnome
RAM: 32 Gb
Disk capacity: 39Tb

The image with the guides is from
Version: 24.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 48a6bac9e7e268aeb4c3483fcf825c94556d9f92
Same machine.

Does anyone know if there is a setting or “Advanced” flag to turn this back on or should I log a bug?

Thanks
Derek


You obviously have View > Boundaries activated so click Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > View and under the heading Display, tick the box Tables. OK

While you are there, check if there is anything else you want to have displayed.

How to show margins

Thank you so much. It was obviously on as a default in all previous versions but now off as a default. That was simple. I had tried googling, and playing around with various settings, but never saw that one!
