Can't add row or columns!
I can't add rows or columns. https://cl.ly/iTHe Every now and then it'll add one when I click the plus sign, but 9/10 it doesn't work. It also doesn't let me bulk add, and is tedious to do one by one. Is there a way to also have a sticky heading for the table like in Google Sheets or Excel for even as the person scrolls down in the table, the heading stays put!
Thanks,
Joanna
It's Chrome 57.0.2987.133
When I click on the + sign, nothing happens. I have many plugins, and maybe one interferes, but I use them, so I don't want to put them off.
I used Windows Explorer instead and it worked just fine.
Thanks
I'm having the same issue (unable or at least very sporadically able to add rows/columns to a table). I'm facing this on macOS Sierra, across the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Resetting the chrome beta flags as suggested by others does nothing. Dropbox support was zero help when I got in touch.
I have found a workaround however that could be helpful to others:
1. copy your table from your paper doc and paste into a simple text editor, and you'll get the underlying github flavored markdown table structure, e.g.:
| Col A | Col B | Col C | | ----- | ----- | ----- | | one | two | three | | | | | | | | |
2. Within your text editor, add whatever rows/columns you want.
3. Copy and paste that raw text back into your Paper doc, replacing your broken table.
It's not the most wonderful editing experience, in what in pretty much all other respects is my current favorite text editor, but it gets the job done

Hey justinstern,
Normally this shouldn't happen but I'm positive that we'll fix it.
Since you tried Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, can you also try in Incognito/Private mode on all those browsers too and let me know if you are able to do it?
I would also like to take a look on what happened when you contacted our support team, could you please provide a ticket ID so I can locate your case if that's not too much trouble?
Thanks!

Yeah, no difference in incognito/private mode: I'm able to add a single row, and then no more rows or columns. Clicking the "+" buttons does nothing, and no console errors.
Interestingly enough I just noticed that I do see a background ajax request: https://paper.dropbox.com/log/event-log?version=7&xsrf=OA4EoJQH5CSyOj7V162VaP so I'm not sure whether there's a client error being logged/reported to your guys' backend perhaps? If so maybe you can look up the event by that xsrf value?

Sure thing: ticket #5543480thanks!
