Likely related to bug 117484. Table content is selected, not the table as 'object'

Thank you for reporting the bug. If I insert a table, select the table and press delete button, the table is deleted.

Reproduced when I select table with click into the table. Works for me when I select table with drag a selection frame around the object and then hit Del button.
How do you select a table?

Just click on the frame, this selects the table.

I wonder if only Linux based impress versions have this bug or windows versions 
have too.

What gets selected when clicking the table frame.. only the outer border or also the cells.. My experience: it will select the full table (not only the border), blocking deletion..

Deleting is possible for me by:
1. Clicking the table 
2. Pressing delete row in the context depended toolbar

or
1. Entering the table by clicking the cell twice (if the table is deselected)
2. Clicking the outer frame
3. Pressing delete or right click delete
