The new table selection features[*] are great, but less helpful because the "in
table" context menu is not active unless the text cursor is inside the table to
begin with.

To reproduce:

1) In document with table, position text (I-beam) cursor in text _outside_ of 
table.

2) Select a column/row/table using bulk selection[*].  The table is selected
(highlighted), and the text cursor jumps inside the table.

3) Right-click inside the table.  A context menu appears, but not the
appropriate "in-table" menu with the table-specific items.

If the process is repeated starting with the cursor inside the table, the
correct table-specific context menu appears.

What's the point of the selection features if not as a path to changing the
table properties?  If I have to move the cursor inside the table to get the
table-specific context menu, why would I ever use the new feature?  Maybe I'm
missing something totally obvious...

[*] Mouse cursor just above or to the left (or upper-left) of table changes to
arrow, and with left click, selects entire row/column or table.
