[Table-bug] table.el and XEmacs

[Ville <vil...@xe...>]

Hello,

I've been asked to add table.el into one of the XEmacs packages, and
having played around with it a bit in XEmacs, I see (as the notes say)
there are some problems.

I've worked around a couple, see the attached patch.

At least one showstopper remains, let me try to describe it.

When I have inserted a table into a buffer, I poke around and type some
characters *into* the top border (the line with the +-----+------
stuff), then move into a cell, and type some more.  Now, when the table
tries to resize itself, I get (after setting debug-on-error to t):

Signaling: (wrong-type-argument number-char-or-marker-p nil)
  table--put-property(nil table-justify nil)
  table--put-cell-justify-property(nil nil)
  table--put-cell-property(nil)
  table--update-cell(now)

I'd appreciate it if this could be fixed so I could continue the process
of distributing table.el with XEmacs.  I have no idea whether it works
this way in GNU Emacs too,  I'm using XEmacs 21.4.8.

Cheers,
