Hi Atul,

Thank you again for your thorough observations and the video demonstration.

The behavior you are seeing, where only one cell seems affected at first, but all selected cells later display the expected styling, is working as designed. The styling is applied to all selected cells via the Style Builder, but the Cell Properties dialog lacks visual indication of those specific formatting changes (e.g. borders).

This is because the Cell Properties window provides only a limited subset of formatting options, such as alignment, background color, and CSS class — while more advanced formatting like borders, box model styles, and font details are only available through the Style Builder. As a result, any border formatting applied in the Style Builder is not visible or editable in Cell Properties.

This is not a bug, but rather a missing feature: currently, there's no way to visually indicate within Cell Properties that advanced styling (like borders) was previously applied.

Thank you for helping us identify this improvement opportunity — Telerik points have been granted for your detailed report!

 

Regards,
