Build 2000-08-11-09M18: NT4 Build 2000-08-14-08M18: Linux 6.0, Mac 9.04 Overview: Selecting the menu item "Table|Cell Background Color" does nothing. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a table 2. Place the cursor inside one of the cells 3. Select the Table|Cell Background Color menu item Actual Results: Nothing happens. Additional Information for Win and Linux: If the Table *button* is selected then the Table Properties dialog appears and the Background Color dialog can be accessed. On the Mac the same steps reports "Please enter or choose an image of type gif, jpg or png". Expected Results: A Cell Background Color dialog should appear.
This also effects Mail's Format|Table|Cell Background Color menu item.
In Mail's New Message/Compose window there is no Table button so the only option is to use the menu item.

Checked in 8/22 Note that when using the "background" (lower-right) portion of the color picker picker buttons on the toolbar, you should see adialog with one of these possible captions: "Page Background Color" if selection is in just page text "Table Background Color" if a table is completed selected "Table or Cell Color" if selection/caret is in 1 or more table cells. The last two options are also available from the "Table or Cell Background Color..." item in the Table menu. They will also be in the popup context menu, but that's not done yet. "Table or Cell Color" mode was made because it is not very discoverable to select an entire table (Ctrl/Cmd+Click inbetween cells, or use Table | Select | Table in the menus.) Thus if the selection/caret is in a cell, user will be given the option of setting the background on either the entire table or just cell(s) (>1 if cells are selected.) There should be radio buttons above the color swatchs in the color picker to let the user determine the target for the action.
