Thanks for improving tables, I can now select some cells and use bold, emph or similiar. Nice!
I tried some other, less useful operations, to check for stability: * select cells, insert label. Works, I get a label where the cursor was.
* select cells, press C-M for math. Crash! No, I don't see how this
could be useful, so ignoring operations on selections when
the current selection doesn't fit the operation would be fine here. A crash is never fine though. Upon recovery I got an empty math box
in one of the cells, which is good - it is after all the closest possible
to the users intention. Just getting the box and nothing inside it
(because a selection containing table cells isn't pasteable into
math) is very good - if we could skip the crash+recovery part.
* select cells, insert a table. I got a new 4x4 table inside the cell containing the cursor. All the cells in the selection had their contents erased though - this was not expected.
I also noticed that selecting some normal text (not in a table) and inserting a table erases the selected text, there is no attempt to get it into the table. This makes more sense, the selection is replaced by the table. Getting the text into the table (using some space-separated or comma- separated heuristic) might be nice and useful, but I guess this isn't the time for new features?
