I bumped into this while working on something.

If I select the table from the top-down (using shift ↓) I can reproduce the issue, but it looks like if I select the table from the bottom-up, it is wrapped in the callout as expected.

I’m facing the same issue with Obsidian v1.14.5, Windows 11.

I’m pasting text including tables from external sources and put then in a callout on a regular basis and blank lines get added before the table, which breaks the callout. It happens regardless of the direction of my selection (from top to bottom or from bottom to top). This is not the expected behavior. This doesn’t make Obsidian unusable but it is a little annoyance.

Fixing this bug would be a nice QoL improvement.
