Hello,
According to the manual
RET org-table-next-row
Re-align the table and move down to next row. Creates a new row if
necessary.
At the beginning or end of a line, RET still does NEWLINE, so it can be used
to split a table.
ECM -
Create a one column, one row table, hit TAB which results in a two row,
one column table. Point is then immediately after the last |. When I
RET, a new column and new row are created.
Point is immediately before end-of-buffer. This may make a difference.
I would expect a new line and no continuation of the table, in any way.
