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 on...

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
- 8 years agoHey ComBibUdeM,There was a recent issue with Chrome 57 not working properly with our website that you may want to try. See this thread’s solution http://bit.ly/2oksOUY.In short, there are some incompatibilities with Chrome’s new beta features and our website, and this user’s solution may be worth a try.I hope this helps!Let me know.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
