 * This is an awesome plugin. The only thing that would make it better, and in my
   mind is one of the main reasons to use TinyMCE Advanced (for clients to be able
   to add tables to their content for lists of data, etc.) would be to clear up 
   the bugs in the table select functions. They are really erratic. Trying to select
   multiple cells, cell rows, cell columns, etc just doesn’t work. Using Firefox
   5 on Windows 7…

 * I am having trouble with table cells, rows, selection also.
    It can’t limit itself
   and the selection “bleeds” out into the rest of the post, outside the table even.
 * Very frustrating; it’s a great plugin.
 * I’m also using Firefox 5/Windows 7 but also tried it with I.E. 9 and the same
   thing happened.
 * I also tried deactivating and then activating again, no improvement.

 * I’d like to add my agreement to this. The cell selection & property settings 
   are not good.
    I tried something similar, editor-extender, before this, but found
   it conflicted with another plugin. I vastly prefer the editor extender’s table
   functionality. For example, current table property settings display in the property
   dialog every time you open it; this one opens up blank, even after you’ve set
   properties. A color picker (where applicable) in the property dialogs would be
   nice too (Um, people who need a super-user-friendly editor probably don’t know
   color codes!). I may have to continue my search for the perfect plugin…
