On the HTML Markup menu, the "ML" checkbox for creating a table is supposed to do this: "If ML is set on, each group of lines separated by a blank line is made into one table row."
In earlier versions, it did so properly, but now it swaps lines within each row. Example (taken from Attachment):
========================================================
May 14. Midnight. Saw planet for the first time.
A beautiful luminous disk with shades
of tone dimly visible. Southern pole cap
white and seen.
May 15. Certain details sufficiently distinct to make out dark areas, and at times a line or two.
========================================================
becomes

I first tried replicating this by copying the text above and failed. Then I opened the attached file.
I don't think the multi-line setting is supposed to also mean "there's only one column in this table so please ignore all column separators". There's a column separator (multiple spaces) between "May 14." and "Midnight", so you get two columns. If you put 60 spaces instead of 4 it becomes easier to see the layout of the table your text file asks for.
This is behaving as it should, it's not a bug.
