Vertical line frame over a single character/cell?

A collegue of mine asked:

  • when a line frame is picted over 2 lines is automatically defined as a vertical line frame.
  • when a line frame is picted over more characters is automatically defined as an horizontal line frame.
  • when a line frame is picted over 1 character is automatically defined as an horizontal line frame.
  • what if I need to pict over a single character a vertical line frame?

I've made some test with U9.7.05.007 but I can't find the way...Any suggestion?

      Hi Uli,

      yes, we decided to go straight for the simplest workaround: to fake it with pipe character
      ...but in a world of graphical things is definitively an ugly solution...and end user was NOT happy with it!

      I consider it a bug!

        Hi Gianni,

        it's not the best option, but if one is really desperate:
        just faking it with a "|" in a label/hyperlink or something from the symbol/graphical character set?
        Or a homemade glyph with a trimmed screenshot of a 2-line vertical line ?
