Type and write directly into tables. Fix text formatting for tables!
I find tables to bee completely unuseable in Notebook 23.
Text has to be dragged and dropped in and out of cells to be edited. For students this is basicly impossible to wrap their head around. Why can't you just type directly into the cells? Why can't you edit text inside the cells??
Moving text from one cell to the next somehow creates a copy instead of moving the text. Formatting text once it's been inserted into the cells is impossible unless the text is removed first. Resizing table cells once anything has been added to the table at all completely screws up cell formatting and "undoing" (Ctrl+Z) the resizing doesn't fix back the formatting that's been broken this way?
And if you're interested in completely loosing your mind: try changing the textsize of a filled table to a unified size or font after the fact.

Notebook 23.2 released in December included a major update for tables, returning features from Notebook 22 and even adding some new ones. We're still working to improve the text editing experience. Currently you have to deselect and reselect the cell to change sizes, etc. That is not the best experience, and we will improve on it in the future.

Très frustrant de ne plus pouvoir écrire dans un tableau. Il faut absolument ramener cette fonctionnalité!

Indeed! What's even the point of drawing tables if not to WRITE into the boxes? :(

Absolutely! The table feature is almost completely unusable now.

Not being able to enter/change/resize text makes tables from previous versions useless. Creating a table is an exercise in pure frustration. The new blue boxes are unintutitive and barely functional. Were teachers consulted in this update? It feels like a bunch of decisions made in an corporate office without user input...
