I've pasted data into a Sticky that came over in Table format. But it seems that table editing has been removed? I can't even delete the table! Nor is it possible to add anything to the Sticky, because the table is in the last position, and the last accessible edit position is the final cell of the table.
Ack! Is there any way to edit tables in Stickies under Big Sur? They gave it a new icon, so it doesn't seem to have been completely abandoned.

Howdy,
I can edit Tables in Stickies, but I see what your are saying. If the Table is the last thing in the Sticky, I can't get past it as pressing Return just adds lines to the last cell.
Try this:
3. Add some Returns so you have some blanks lines.
4. Use the Up Arrow to move the insertion point above the bottom of the Stickie. This will leave blank lines below the table.
5. Paste the Table back in.
You can now edit above, inside and below the Table.
I wasn't able to add rows but I could delete the bottom row by deleting it's contents then moving the insertion point below the table (click below it) then pressing Delete a couple of times. That only worked if the Table was NOT at the bottom of the Sticky.

That is helpful to me. I've realized that I couldn't cut the table because I wasn't selecting it all (it pasted in with no cell boundaries). And I never would have tries pressing Delete 8 times, the first 7 with no apparent effect, to remove a row!
I'm not sure I would call this "editing a table," though, as the capabilities are so limited. I wish we could still access things like this from 2006: https://www.macworld.com/article/178620/stickiestable.html
