Description Telesto 2020-10-19 07:21:57 UTC 
Description:
Hard the get cursor below table in a header/footer after save and reload

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the attached file
2. insert a table in the footer
3. Notice they space below the table.. able to click it or move cursor out (in my opinion wrong. there should be no spacing below table
4. Save an reload
5. No they spacing below table being gone (OK, IMHO) except you cant reach that area at all (bad)

Actual Results:
See above

Expected Results:
cursor jumps below table after pressing arrow right in the right bottom cell creating new line at that point. if no text is added an cursor put back in table the empty line should disappear again


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

The space is not gone but the prompt on the following line. You can add a break before with enter in the first cell to get it back.

Tables always have a follow-up paragraph to allow editing below. This correct (unless we implement with a solution where the user can add the break behind the table) and I would consider the missing paragraph a (minor) bug.

But clearly not on file open in the case :-). And if they follow-up paragraph is showing matters for text distribution of pages. And working around the issue 'by pressing' Enter. Still a workaround for my taste.

Not sure what you 'break' means. In MSO you press arrow down at the last table cell and the cursor simply jumps out they table to a fresh line. And they follow up paragraph is simply not present. Which I personally find pretty obvious. 

But sure someone will see the current implementation as feature. In this case I even get/understand that (in contrary to certain other cases where where obviously flawed). However they 'follow up paragraph' thingy does if I recall correctly - not 100% sure - leave a spurious paragraph when cut/pasting tables. 

However this is of course not a high priority bug :-). But one of those 101 papercut bugs. At least I my world it's a papercut bug.
