Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1674359

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Bhasker C V]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0
Build ID: 20171114221957

Steps to reproduce:

Compose a mail (HTML)
the very first thing in the mail must be a table (any number of rows or cols)
Now try to insert a text/line before the table 
i.e bring the table down to insert a text line before the table. 


Actual results:

The table sticks as the first in the composed mail and does not allow text to be inserted


Expected results:

I must be able to insert a line before the table and type text before the table.

Yes, inserting stuff before a table or after it can be really tricky.

You could install the add-on ThunderHTMLedit and edit the HTML. Or use "Insert > HTML" from the menu. Or "plan" the insertion, so insert a few empty lines before you insert the table.

This problem comes from Core: DOM: Editor and should be fixed there.
