And still I'd consider this process a step backward compared to
LyX-1.1.5 where it was possible to use the GUI to adjust the font size
and other characteristics. I'm afraid the same ugly method has to be
used in order to change other attributes like makeing some columns Bold.
And by the way, specifying direct LaTeX commands seems to work fine in
the all or nothing case but what if I for instance just want to make one
row bold face? In LyX-1.1.5 (and earlier) I could select the row with
the mouse and use the pull down to toggle the bold flag. Now I have to
mark each column individually such that it gets a red box around the
text in the cell and then I have to explicitly mark all characters in
the red box...
Ideally I would like to have the old behaviour back and then when
talking about an improvement it would make sense to enhance the
mouse-selection logic such that in tables not only selection from right
to left is possible but also the selection of columns.
