OK.

OK, that can probably be fixed in a patchlevel release of FOX 1.6, if  
Jeroen thinks it's worth it.

That one's a little trickier and probably can't be fixed in FOX 1.6  
(although it would be nice to see it fixed in 1.8). The problem is  
that the table's concept of "selection" is a range of cells (i.e. at  
least one complete table cell). If you're just selecting some text  
within a cell, but selecting the cell itself, FOX doesn't think you  
have anything selected.

Yes, at least for point #2. It would be nice for the scenario  
described in your point #3 to work as well, though.
