Description Bartosz Dziewoński 2014-11-10 01:15:11 UTC 
VisualEditor: "Insert table" tool should be (also?) in the "Table" menu, not (or in addition to?) "Insert" menu. I was quite confused for a moment by the table icon being grayed out, and I've been told I'm not the only one.

+1. When user wants to create a new table, he can see the icon in the toolbar, but it's marked as displayed. Really confusing. Imho, if we have a special menu for tables, "Insert table" should be placed there instead of being in "Insert menu". The current solution is reasonable, but unintuitive. (Maybe "Insert table" could be visible alternatively with "Delete table" #brainstorm).
Comment 2 Elitre 2014-11-10 08:10:25 UTC 
The current option is highly temporary, AFAIK.
Comment 3 James Forrester 2014-11-10 17:53:50 UTC 
Alternatively, we could put the table inspector in the proper place (i.e., on the table) rather than over-loading the toolbar, which would remove the confusion.
