Right-clicking on a table brings up the dialog for modifying tables and table cells. I expected changes to take effect on the table and table cell that I clicked. But no, the changes takes effect on whatever table cell contains the cursor, even if that cell is in some other table!
If the cursor is outside tables, then all I get is "command disabled".
I think I understand the idea here - it allows the table dialog to remain open and I can move the cursor around and make changes to whatever table I encounter. This is nice, of course. Some earlier version of lyx got into all sorts of trouble if I attempted this.
Still, it'd be nice if a right-click on a table sticks the cursor in whatever
cell I clicked. We will then get expected behaviour in all cases, while
keeping improvements and new opportunities the improved
table UI has.
