As a workaround for this issue I inserted a paragraph before the table and formatted the text in the paragraph as hidden. Then tried to use Select All. It selects all text only if the hidden text is visible, which is enabled in Tools > Options > LibreOffice Writer > Formatting Aids > Display of Hidden text. If that option is not enabled the Select All selects only the table, which is strange (another bug?).
