Description jlbraga 2016-11-27 15:54:08 UTC
You try to select a table that extends through 2 different pages. You highlight it all, and if you try to right-click it in the SECOND page, to access the options, the menu doesn't appear and the selection disappears.

If you try to select it bottom-up and right->left, you don't access the cells on the left, and what happens is that the writing cursor gets going up...

I repro the losing of the selection, but you have to right-click inside a cell, that is higher than the default.
I don't repro the non-appearance of context menu.

I repro selection is lost when right click is on the continuing page row extension.

Here is a patch that makes selection remain when this happens:
