Table in Writer does not resize if it contains a taller equation and the equation is made smaller. 1. Create a table with any number of cells. One does fine. 2. Inside the table place a equation (Insert → Object → Equation) 3. Make the equation taller, e.g σ = F over A 4. Make the equation smaller again, e.g replace the equation with simply "F = 0". 5. See that the table remains tall and does not resize. 6. Save the document and open it again, everything looks fine now.
