Open new page. Insert a table - default values are ok. Once done, you can't click before or after the table to put content. There selection aspects to this, which will probably involve mjudge, but this bug is a start. The "after" case is easier, since we could automatically insert a <br> (or the special temporary br we use.) We shouldn't do that before, however, since that would introduce an extra line before a table and we got lots of criticism for doing that in 4.x. We will need to do some clever trick to draw a caret before the table, set some special state flag, then insert the new content as soon as user types or pastes content before the table.

As far as I can tell, this is totally a selection/caret issue. reassigning...

I'm raising the severity on this -- we need to start looking at this problem.
Severity: normal → critical
should be able to at least use keyboard navigation to get in front/back of the table. in editor maybe we should not snap mouse selection gestures to the containig text.

verified in 9/15 build... however, now you can't insert caret "below" the table to enter text/objects. filing separate bug. see 4.x behavior.
