Looking into this now.

It would be trivial to make it possible to delete also the last row or column in a table (and the table would then be deleted, too). Then as a workaround, one could delete a table in a presentation document by deleting rows or columns one by one. But that is a bit silly, sure, so I will first try to see if I can figure out how to make it possible to delete the whole table in one go.
Comment 4 Nicolas Christener 2019-10-30 14:49:17 UTC
If deleting the table in one go is not trivial to implement I'm also happy with the approach of deleting all rows individually and the last one delete the table.

Thanks Tor!

It is btw already so that if one manages to select an area covering all rows (or all columns) of the table, and then chooses Table > Delete > Delete Rows (or Columns), the whole table is deleted. But yeah, the touch UI to select cells in a table is not easy to use, and it takes a while before on manages to get into the state where cells are selected and the cell selection can be extended.

Nicolas, can this be resolved as FIXED?
Comment 10 Nicolas Christener 2019-12-22 13:15:49 UTC
Tested with 4.2.x - it's now possible to delete a table.

I think, this issue can be closed.

Thanks a lot to the Collabora Team and especially Tor for taking care of this!
