Created attachment 42623 [details] Example.odt Downstream bug may be found at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/254655 When a new table is created it creates an unnecessary space at the bottom of it (please see attached Example.odt). A workaround for this is Secondary click the table -> primary click Table... -> click the Borders tab -> in the Spacing to contents area, the four fields are 0.04" by default with the Synchronize checkbox checked. Change all 4 fields to 0 -> click the OK button. However, it is more convenient if the default install had this workaround already committed.
Well, this is by design... how could you add text after the table otherwise? See the downstream conclusion... which is completely accurate: --- Snip --- RESOLUTION: Not a Bug. Go to end of paragraph in right bottom cell. Ctrl+Shift+Delete. Find other useful shortcut keys in the help in part "Shortcut Keys for Tables in OpenOffice.org Writer" in chapter "Shortcut Keys for OpenOffice.org Writer. --- Snip ---
Cédric Bosdonnat: Thank you for responding quickly to this bug. I also noted the same thing as downstream and agree looking at it from the experienced user/developer perspective, not a bug. Looking at it from the new(er) user, it is a big issue. I personally went through months of creating one page documents with tables at the end and making sure one line was left at the end because how to remove it was not known. I got fed up and finally made a bug ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/691296 ). Other people have also experienced this same issue and addressing this is one less thing a new user has to deal with to ease the transition from a competing suite to LibreOffice. I (naively) searched the source code for Contents to spacing area via Places -> Search for Files to edit it and recompile, did not find it. Any suggestions? Your understanding is appreciated.

Using LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 (Windows 7) I can't delete the empty line following the table by using "Shift+Ctrl+Del" as suggested in comment 1 (and as specified by https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Shortcut_Keys_for_Writer#Shortcut_Keys_for_Tables_in_LibreOffice_Writer). So I'd call this a BUG, not an enhancement.
I confirm that the shortcut ctrl+shift+del doesn't do anything in LO 4.0.3.3 (Ubuntu 13.04).
Created attachment 98352 [details] document of one page with a table and no line after the table (In reply to comment #5) > I confirm that the shortcut ctrl+shift+del doesn't do anything in LO 4.0.3.3 > (Ubuntu 13.04). Help says: "If no whole cell is selected and the cursor is at the end of the table, the paragraph following the table will be deleted, unless it is the last paragraph in the document." In current stable version, this shortcut works as designed. You can't remove the last paragraph of the document, but you can have a table covering the entire page without a line after the table. For example by inserting the table in a frame. See attachment. Best regards. JBF
