The CKEditor automatically places empty paragraph tags above tables. While I'm able to go into the source and delete the ones between other tables, when I try to delete the one at the top of the page before the first table, it automatically reinserts it when I edit the page again. Is there anyway to alter the editor so that these empty paragraph tags are not automatically inserted?
<p> </p> <table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style="width: 540px" width="540"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p style="text-align: center">

I've noticed it only occurs when startupFocus is enabled. Issue occurs in latest version (3.5.2) in IE8, IE9, and Chrome.
Firefox 3.6.15 appears to correctly place initial focus in the first cell of the table.

My template code is:
{ title: 'Single Column Table', image: 'oneColumnTable.gif', description: 'Creates a standard single content table.', html: '<table class="cTable one-column"><tr><td class="theader">Title</td></tr><tr><td>Content</td></tr></table>' },And the output code looks like this:These extra paragraph tags are driving me crazy because they are a real problem for my users to control, especially since they only appear until the code is refreshed via either Source-toggling or page save.
Also, removing these <P> tags from within the visual editor DOES NOT remove them. When toggling the Source, they come right back. It's horribly frustrating, because this has been an issue since the inception of this editor and have never been properly address.
Nothing here makes a difference. Still having <P> tags placed above and below template. I even attempted to wrap the entire table in a <div> tag, and <P> tags were STILL placed above and below. What am I missing here?!?!
I am also having the exact same problem as ekazda. If anyone has any suggestions or hints, they would be very greatly appreciated.
