vanishing grid lines

[Chris Dunn <chrisdunn tciway tc>]

Can some kind soul please point me towards the resolution of an annoying
and recurrent problem in Gnumeric (and in Excel if that has any
relevance).

Some action that I take in Gnumeric causes an area of grid lines to
disappear from the display. Not sure how I achieved it, but it was
unwanted behaviour.

Now how to get the grid lines back again? Can't find the route.

I can vanish all the grid lines in the sheet, but when I reinstate them,
the lines that were previously missing are still not there.

Try putting in borders around the cell I think. All apparent options
under this procedure seem to result in borders that are more heavily
weighted than the standard grid lines and therefore not acceptable.

What silliness am I doing, and how can I correct my ways?
