(Whiteboard: [PDT+] have fix)

using 2/15 build of mozilla 1) launch mozilla 2) launch editor 3) insert 4 x 4 table 4) insert text in all cells 5) highlight some text 5) make it centered random problem. sometimes rows/cells get deleted...I've seen this often enough, but its not 100% reproducible....also bug-o-rama folks saw it as well all platforms.
Inserting nodes such as <span align="center"> within table cells inserts between the <tr> and <td>. The rules code needs to search for containing cells and insert at the appropriate level. This is a dup -- I'll let Joe coallesce to the appropriate bug.

This is a dup of other "set attributes in a table cell" bugs.

I see not comments from PDT team. Removing PDT- to bring it to their attention. This is a serious situation and happens from many different UI actions when your selection spans accross a table cell boundary. It causes bad HTML and extreme confusion to user. Joe: What can you do to fix this for Beta1?

Another example, from 27305: 1) launch mozilla 2) launch editor 3) insert default table 4) click in one of the cells 5) insert bullet list notice it doesn't do it. Actually has nothing to do with table editing - it's some rules problem because after trying to start a list, the UL is inserted between the TR and the TD. Inserting anything in a cell must use TD as the parent.
Charlie, i fyou think this is PDT+ then go ahead and nominate it. I'm quite willing to work on it. Right now I have an open PDT+ bug, though, and this isn't it.
