1.Insert a table into the new document. (use three rows, three columns) 
2.In the beginning of each cell in the first row,  type a number. (1 in the 
first cell, 2 in the second cell..) 
3.Position the cursor in the second cell
4.On the Mac, mouse down and select Delete Cell. On Windows, right click and 
select Cell from the Delete submenu. 
*Actual result*
The cell is not deleted but the content(#2)of the cell does delete.I tried to 
use the delete key and that didn't work either.I tried to delete the cell with 
no contents and the result is the same, the cell will not delete.
*Expected result*
The cell should have deleted and the 3rd cell should have moved over to the 2nd 
cell's position.

talked with charlie on this one. This is invalid. Change the pref for table in
'Edit}Prefs|Composer' and remove the checkbox for 'maintaining the layoutwhile
deleting cells' and see what happens. The cell actually gets deleted and since
there is never a blank in a table in the middle (it always is at the end), that
is what is seen.
