Hello,


Table should behave like chart/image when manipulating it in Writer:
      * One click to resize, move;
      * Double click to modify content.

We're talking about normal tables in writer, right ?. A double click to
enter text into them sounds very odd.

Now there is no way to wrap table differently (like images/chart) than
default. No way to put text beside table.

There kind of is, but it is indeed tricky, where you place the table
into a frame, and then you can drag that frame around and set its
wrapping etc. Rather yucky, but possible. There then is the ugliness of
the difficultly of manually getting rid of the empty unwanted paragraph.

A relatively easy hack (I guess, haven't looked at the area in quite a
while) would be to offer a table->wrap which, when anything other than
no wrap is selected, conceptually automagically places the table into a
frame and sticky that wrapping feature into the frame and removes that
trailing paragraph. Maybe that's an awful idea :-), but sort of in the
right ballpark.
