So, the tl;dr is that on a multi-cell selection we should still see the table toolbar. Table toolbar should have precedence over the balloon toolbar in this case.

But what I described above would make bold, italic and other inline options inaccessible in case of table cell selection, so you won't be avle to boild multiple cells at once. In other words, it's trade off and it's not a good one. We need to find a better solution from the UX perspective.

Just to not forget: we already have one solution for conflicting items (balloon rotator). Maybe using it (if does not require a lot of effort) wouldn't be as bad as leaving users with a feature that just cannot be used.

I stumbled upon this today again and I think we could raise the priority of this issue. This is pretty annoying.

Solution: If there is more than one range in the selection, the contextual toolbar should not be displayed. I guess we don't check that currently and that makes the contextual toolbar displayed for multi-range table cell selections.
