The caption environment is for your title, not for the table itself. In
ASCII-art, what you want is:
[float: Table]
-------------------------------------
| Table #: my table title |
| --------- |
| | 1 | 2 | |
| --------- |
| | 3 | 4 | |
| --------- |
-------------------------------------
If the cursor is on the "my table title" line, then the environment combox
on the toolbar will say "Caption".
If the cursor is on the line containing the table itself, then the
environment combox should say "Standard".
