User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.13 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

http://jsbin.com/cacarew/4/edit?html,js

it's impossible to type text after the first table and before the second one



Actual results:

the selection is always forced inside the last cell of the table


Expected results:

I should be able to place cursor between the 2 tables, (or after a table if it's the last child)

Comment 1

[cyril.auburtin]

This is the same with <a>..</a> http://jsfiddle.net/crl/c5m94qcd/5/

When trying to leave it (type after it) with space enter or anything you can't, the selection is like <a> ... |</a> I guess

Chromium/blink does it differently with the selection just after the <a> or <table>, it makes more sense?

Still reproducible today (on Ubuntu 18.04).

Comment 3

[Thomas D. (:thomas8)]

Mirko has filed the general case as Bug 1674359: Adding content before or after a <table> isn't possible when the table is the only element (or first/last respectively), as he said that's "simpler than [this] bug 1247480 and presumably not exactly the same". Adjusting summary here to what's primarily described in comment 0, the special case of having two <table> elements right next to each other and failing to type in between them.
