Details

I have a table of 2 rows and 2 columns.
I want the upper/left TD to have colspan=2, so I enter that in "advanced options".
What happens then is that a third column seems to be added to each line. But
it's not able to edit.
Expected result:

This works exactly as expected for me with the following:

<html>
<body>
<table>
<tr><td colspan="2">Col1</td></tr>
<tr><td>Col1</td><td>Col2</td></tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>

Reporter (Hakon), please can you check to see whether this bug is still present
in a recent build (Moz1-RC1 or a new nightly build). If this bug does not occur
please can you resolve it worksforme. If it does occur please can you attach a
html snippet showing the problem.
I still find it present.
You understand that this bug treats the behaviour of the Composer's graphical
user interface, assuming that you don't do any html coding manually, right?
No I didn't (at least until you told me)! 

Reporter, please follow the bug reporting guidelines
(http://www.mozilla.org/quality/bug-writing-guidelines.html) and redescribe this
bug.
Just for the record, the easiest way to achieve the behaviour you want is to
click in the left most cell and go to Table -> Join with Cell to the right.
Yes, you're probably right.
There may also be a point with the current behaviour, because otherwise there
could be some potential dataloss (the second column would vanish). I'm closing this.
