After the latest update, I found that I'm not able to highlight a table and delete it using the "Backspace" key. Now I have to click the "x" circle for either each column or row to remove the table. Painful when there's a lot of columns or rows. Is there a way to fix this?

If only just created the table, but in error. 'Edit' > 'Undo'

Other methods that work: click on table 'Format' > 'Table' > 'Delete' > 'Table'

OR Press 'Ctrl' + click on table border (to highlight all of table) Press 'Delete' key

OR Only need to click on the small "x" circle which is on top edge to remove columns one by one; rows are auto deleted in process. note: if you have a lot of columns, you could edit the table properties to reduce to one column (Format > Table properties). 

then delete the column - click on the small "x" circle
