I think this has accessibility impact, marking EDITORBASE+ and nsbeta1+ for that
reason, setting milestone to mozilla 1.0
Keywords: access, 
          
            nsbeta1+
Whiteboard: EDITORBASE[caret] → EDITORBASE+[caret]
Target Milestone: Future → mozilla1.0

    
    

    
  
this is not common i dont believe. if the table cell is completely empty 
arrowing would work fine.  Its only with this <nobr></nobr> empty tag inside the 
table cell that confuses key navigation.  I suggest this is not fixed. certainly 
not for EDITORBASE+

In current trunk builds, you can't enter the empty cell at all, pressing the arrow keys. But you can select the empty cell by clicking on it.
I guess bug 389321 might change things for the better here.
