Hello,
I propose to put this patch in order to make tables usable again. I have
been using this patch for some time and I didn't see any obvious side
effect for now.
Objection?
Of course, this is not the right fix but I spend hours debugging through
this code without success. So unless someone knows that code better the
attached patch is good enough.
Abdel.
