When I draw some shape and click in it and select table-->insert table menu is not active and I can't insert a table in this shape.
What's the point of creating duplicate reports? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 93811 ***
Ah, sorry, this one is about shapes not about a textbox. In this case it's already possible since 4.4 - https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.4#Shapes_can_have_a_TextBox. What you need is to right click on the shape, and choose "Add Text Box". Note that this will work only with "Custom Shapes" (the ones from the dropdowns in the drawing toolbar), not with "Basic Shapes" (like from Insert->Shapes menu).
This option doesn't work at me. With "Custom Shapes" or "Basic Shapes"... I can't insert a table in any of them.
This option doesn't work at me and when I try to insert a table in a text box...
(In reply to tsanew from comment #3) > This option doesn't work at me. Can't confirm. The following steps work for me with 5.0.2 under Fedora 22: 1) Enable the drawing toolbar and draw a shape. 2) Right click on the shape and choose "Add Text Box". 3) Click outside the shape, so it lost the focus. 4) Click again in the middle of the shape. You should see now a blinking cursor inside the shape. 5) At this stage the Insert Table menu/toolbar items are active, allowing you to insert a table inside this shape. Could you try this please?
Yes in this way this works, but isn't it too complicated to make so simple thing as to add a table in the shape :-) ?!
Sorry, but I've forgotten to thank you for the advice!

Yes, it's complicated for the end user, but apparently it was easier to implement it that way. See http://vmiklos.hu/blog/textbox.html for more details.
