Positioning

[RJL]

My users are having problems with tables - e.g. if inserted at top left of text field, they cannot insert a cursor before the table to add some text; or they cannot easily change the width of a column thru "normal" drag-the-handle procedures. Has anyone uncovered ways to fix this? Thanks.

I'm aware of problem with inserting the tabble at the top of the contentarea and not being able to get out of it but I haven't heard and couldn't reproduce the issue resizing the table.

Could you describe this bug in more detail, perhaps provide a step by step scenario and/or sample file? That way it would be easier to isolate the problem.

Thanks for your response. I wasn't clear on the resizing issue: it's not the table, but the widths of individual columns that are the difficulty. In other words, if you create a two-column table and then insert text in column 1, column 2 will shrink - and I don't think you can position the cursor between the two columns to create a resizing handle that could then be dragged to left to enlarge column two. I hope this is a bit clearer. Thanks again for your help.

You just have to use the TableResize plugin: ​http://nightly.ckeditor.com/latest/ckeditor/_samples/tableresize.html

Thank you so much. I'm currently unable to load the editor to confirm this (which I'm working with the Drupal module maintainer on), but I'm sure it'll work. Thanks again.

Issue number one was described in #3986, which still has status new but I will soon change :). This part of the ticked can be treated like a duplicate of #3986

Issue number two. As @alfonsoml already said, tableresize plugin ie exactly what you need. In this case there is no bug.

In conclusion I will close this as a duplicate of #3986.
