SOLVED: Microsoft Word's table thick cell borders extend outside the table boundary (past the width of the table)

We've recently had an issue whereby Microsoft Word's table cell borders extend outside the table boundary when they are set to higher thickness.

Screenshot of the issue

This is clearly an issue with the on-premises version of Word because it's not seen in Microsoft 365.

It seems the issue is that Word is extending (only the right hand side) of the border ready to connect it to the vertical border that is not present. To resolve the issue you can add a 1/4pt white border on the right for the thick border to connect to but that will not be visible.

Adding a white border



The border is now cut back to size - the only issue is that the 1/4pt white line is visible if you zoom in closely.
