Description Javier Fernandez 2017-06-09 03:14:02 PDT 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Load the attached test case
(2) Put the cursor at the end of the text bellow the table
(3) Hit backspace until delete the while line of text
(4) Hit backspace again
(5) Hit backspace again
(6) Hit backspace again

What is the expected result?
After step (4) the caret should be just after the last cell of the table above. 
After step (5) all the cells should be selected (according to https://webkit.org/b/24246).
After step (6) the whole table should be deleted 

What happens instead?
After step (4) the caret is placed inside the last cell of the table, which is empty in this case. 
After step (5) the caret is placed inside the last cell (empty)
After step (6) nothing happens

This seems an interoperability issue, since Firefox and IE/Edge behave quite different in the scenario described in the attached test case.

According to 24236, hitting backspace on an empty cell should move the caret to the adjacent cell.
