Focus is returned to the previous focus after a table is inserted using the insert table control. Using keyboard navigation to get to the insert table control will always result in the toolbar in which the control is in having focus after table insert. Using the mouse will result in focus returning where it was previous to inserting table. To repro focus not being placed in the first cell of the newly inserted table after insert using keyboard use F6 and arrow keys to keyboard navigate to the insert table control and insert a table. Results: Focus is on toolbar insert table control. Expected Results: see Expected Results below. To repro focus not being place in the first cell of the newly inserted table after insert using mouse: 1) Mouse click on any combo box or control that grabs focus (Set Paragraph Style, Font Name, Fonts Size are some). 2 ) Click on Insert Table control and insert a table. Results: Focus returns to previous control that had focus. Expected results: Focus is in first cell of newly inserted table.
