--- Comment #6 from Andy <silvandy at katamail.com> ---
I am sorry to bother again, but the problem with table cells selection surfaced
again, and perhaps I have found the situation where it arises:
It happens when you copy a group of cells from a Calc spreadsheet and paste it
into impress. You get a table with exactly the odd behaviour I described
previously. It seems the problem disappears if and when you save the impress
file, close it (I am not sure if you have to close all instances of LO or just
the impress app where the file  was open) and re-open it again: now selecting
cells is doable.
Even if this is obviously a quite easy workaround, I think such a mishap would
put an average new user severely off. So I am reopening the bug.
Advice by Timur on the best way to proceed with the variuos problem the impress
table UI has is surely sound, but of course it takes quite some time to do
that... right now I do not really hate time enough to spare. Please keep in
mind that I typically create bug reports while working, often quite
frantically, when I come upon some difficulty in getting my job done and the
cause looks like it is a LO bug of some kind.
Thanks anyway
