When this thread began, I thought "How else would one add a line before a table?" This is exactly the way Microsoft Word works (I just tried it to refresh my memory). Since, when a table begins a document, there is no space before the table to put the cursor in, the current operation is about all you could do. Since, based on past threads, Dotan prefers OOo to work as Word does, I would think this is very desirable (though counterintuitive) behavior ;-).
