9575 - Table editing: deleting all characters in all cells in a row collapses the row

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P3)

Description

Linux:
Row editing: deleting last character deletes the row.
This is confusing, I want to start over typing the content
and I don't want the row to go away.  Seems like we should
leave the cursor there with no content, an extra delete key press
would then delete the row if needed.

Cool! Table editing will be implemented in M9, including things like maintaining
default content in a cell (always leave a &nbsp), which is behind this bug.

Did I mark this fixed? I didn't intend to!
Note that the row wasn't really deleted. It's just that when all the cells
in a row are empty, the row collapses. I am trying some CSS to control the
appearance of "empty-cells", but there are CSS bugs.

I can get the cell borders to show up when empty, but can't suppress the
collapsed row effect when all cells in the row are empty.
Needs further investigation

This problem no longer happens because of Joe's editor rules code that doesn't
allow a completely empty cell. When the last node in a cell is deleted, a <br>
is automatically inserted, so we don't see the collapsed row.
