However, the right rule is not present in the pdf. For a 3-column table, the
View Source window shows

\multicolumn{3}{|c}{}\tabularnewline

whereas it should be

\multicolumn{3}{|c|}{}\tabularnewline

This is present in both 2.1.0beta2 and 2.0.6 on Windows and is a problem
only when *all* cells in the row are selected and converted to a single
multicolumn cell.

Hi Andrew,

I remember looking at this code a while ago and it's tricky to get the
borders right. I forget why. I think it has to do with LyX storing
left and right borders for each cell but really the LaTeX code should
show if either is set (because it's the combination). That doesn't
sound exactly right but it's something like that.

I did some searching and I wonder if this is a duplicate of
http://www.lyx.org/trac/ticket/8082 . Can you take a look? If not a
duplicate, can you open a new bug report (and set component to
tabular) ?

Thanks,

Scott


I should have checked that first. It is probably the same bug, only 8082 emphasizes the multirow aspect. I've added a comment that the bug arises also with only multicolumn.
