Adding table in reading view adds newline that can only be removed by entering source mode

Steps to reproduce

  1. From the normal editor view, insert table on a line above any content

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? Y

Yes, bug still exists in sandbox.

Expected result

No Newline is created, or at least it is possible to delete the created newline.

Actual result

A newline is created. If you try and use backspace to remove the line, it highlights the table to indicate that the table will be deleted if you hit backspace again.

This is intentional, otherwise the table wouldn’t work.

Thanks for the quick response! If you can spare a moment of your time, can you share why that is?

The table continues to render properly if you remove the newline in sourcemode. I also notice it doesn’t happen when you copy/paste a table.

Is it something to do with generating the markdown?

It doesn’t
