--- Comment #9 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

First of all there is no good reason to not extend the selection except the
unusual interaction. In theory we may change the shortcut to shift+tab in order
to get closer to the selection idea. But this would be not welcome for users
who learned the key combination. Plus, we use tab and shift+tab in lists to
increase/decrease the level.

Admittedly it feels like a bug, in particular after the end of the table is
reached. Which however also happens when the selection is done per shift+arrow.
Ultimately it's much easier to simply press escape and get the expected tab
interaction. => WF
