Item9606: Table too compact after creation in TMCE

Add additional padding in css?

Padding yes. More default whitespace, no. One annoying thing with new tables in Wysiwyg editing has been that you had to remove the space each time you put text in a cell the first time

But we also have the problem that if we do not out at least one space in an empty table cell the cells merge in TML.

My preferences is that an empty table cell is edited starting with no visible space in editor and the single space is added when you save and removed again next time you wysiwyg edit if the table cell is empty and not merged.

Arthur - Additional padding in css sounds great - my only concern is that tables should still look good when not empty. Is it possible to specify a minimum cell width with css?

Kenneth, I would rather deal with the unwanted spaces in table cells in the context of Item8475.

Also, I cannot reproduce the problem you described about table cells merging.

Sorry, I was not clear. There is no issue today with table cells merging because we do put a space in the cells. I was just trying to put some attention to this fact so we do not create a problem. If we saved tables with empty cells without a space the cells merge when the renderer creates the table html from tml.

I have added extra padding to the table cells.
