Hello When editing tables in a content editable element it is not possible to select a column of cells, making actions like merging cells impossible. Firefox gets around this by doing a clever selection specifically for tables, allowing you to select any combination of cells. it would be really helpful for HTML editors etc, if this was implemented in webkit. Thanks.

Created attachment 226295 [details] Test Case Test Case page uploaded, in case of FF contenteditable true and false case selection behavior is different, is it necessary to make the same behavior in webkit?
