A document that I'm writing contains a table that gets improperly rendered when converted to PDF, i.e., some of the cell border lines are incomplete - they do not extend to the full width of the cell. The method of conversion to PDF doesn't seem to matter, so I assume the problem occurs at the LyX/LaTeX level.
The following is a stripped down version of the document containing the problematic table: ============================================================================= #LyX 2.1 created this file.
