Details

* create a table with 1 row and 2 columns
* place the caret in either cell
* choose Table | Delete | Cell
--> the caret goes to the first cell and no cell is deleted
it does not matter if the preference is set to 'Remove the entire cell' or  
'Removes the cell's contents', either way the cell is not deleted. The really 
odd thing is if I put text in both cells, set the caret back to the first cell 
(with pref set to remove the entire cell) and select Table|Delete|Cell -- the 
content of the second cell appends to the content of the first cell, but the 
second cell is not deleted.

The core problem is identical to that in bug 79462: After deleting the cell,
the cellmap still reports 2 columns, when there should be one.
Note that with the first patch from bug 792462 applied, this bug goes away
*if* the preference to "Maintain table layout when inserting or deleting cells"
is unchecked. That's because when it's checked, "Normalize" table is fooled into
re-adding the cell that was actually deleted, since it thinks there's 2 columns!

I think reopening this is silly. The cause is the same as other bugs duped to
74731. If we didn't dup bugs that were different symptoms of the same underlying
problem (once discovered), we'd be drowning in bugs worse than we are!

This will be fixed when patch for bug 74731 is checked in.
