Why?  Rather, inability to select and adjust the fixed position is a 'feature'
of how the tables are built as sw vcl structures. 

Specifically, the table is anchored. And relative to that anchor, the top edge
placement CAN be adjusted (for the current table) from the Table --> Table
Properties  --> Table tab Spacing '~Above' spinner

And, keeping in mind that it is anchored, the height of the first row CAN be
adjusted simply using mouse 'adjust table row' click and drag of its bottom
edge, or by selecting the entire row and applying its height from its context
menu --> Row --> Height. Heights of the rows below are unaffected with this
menu based resize. 

Because it would involve adjustments relative to the anchor, a mouse GUI based
movement of the top edge and accompanying row resize would be more complicated
than setting the other edges. It simply is not implemented. Given correct
behavior of the top edge, and work around(s) I list, setting this as a
potential UX enhancement--and reverting title.
