Checklist
- I've looked at the documentation to make sure the behavior isn't documented and expected.
- I'm sure this is an issue with Summernote, not with my app or other dependencies (Angular, Cordova, React, etc.).
- I've searched through the current issues to make sure this hasn't been reported yet.
- My issue is pertinent to this repository of Summernote (jQuery), or I was unable to have my issue resolved from the relevant version I'm using, such as Angular, dJango, Rails or React. Please try your issue at the relevent repository first.
- I understand that issues without interaction for more than 14 days (2 weeks), may be closed at our discretion. We do this, as sometimes issues are abandoned. We may at our discretion, add issues to the relevant project to be looked at, or for maintainers to work through as time permits. This is to help keep issues relevant to the current version of Summernote, and to reduce clutter.
- I agree to follow the Code of Conduct that this project adheres to.
Steps to reproduce
On the Summernote website:
- add a table
- type text in a cell
- make the text bold
- also make the text underlined Now click on the text => popup to add/delete rows/columns does not show. You can click in the empty space in the cell as a workaround, now the pop-up does show. In Summernote 0.8.18 this happened with just bold (or any other formatting), in Summernote 0.9 this only happens if two formatting options (bold, italic, underline, etc) are used.
Expected behavior
Pop-up always shows if clicked on text, regardless of formatting of text.
Current behavior
If two or more formatting options are used on text the popup does not show when clicked on text.
