I didn't know about that. BTW even the newest version of Libreoffice has
this bug. Seems to be hidden deep deep in some attic part of the code.

Not sure what the "Great News" is, but part of the solution to this
"historical" issue is not well documented:

o To insert a paragraph before a table at the start of a document place
the cursor before the contents of the first cell in the table and press
ALT+ENTER.

o To insert a paragraph after a table at the end of a document place the
cursor after the contents of the last cell in the table and press ALT+ENTER.

The bug id=7747 should only concentrate on the fact that it is not
possible to "Select All" (CTRL+A) when the document starts or ends with
a table. (i.e.. No leading or trailing paragraph.)

This issue is different from Uwe's situation where he was trying to
override the Conditional Formatting of a table.

I did not offer a Select All workaround for your "Conditional
Formatting" situation.

The only way to know if the org converter is applying the correct ODF
translation is to examine the structure of the source document.

Well I might for some other reason select the whole text, say for coping
it. The issue is the odt file I sent, generated by the org converter is
ODF compliant but this workaround does not work!
