+Subject: [PATCH] impress tables are not interactively growing
+
+the optimization here stops tables growing as their text
+contents change in editing mode
+
+So, just recalculate if the table could grow and its
+being interactively edited, which leaves the original
+(dubious ?) load-time optimization in place
+
+Change-Id: I894acf47d34ec8b68aaf9076b5a0cb7e29c38a17
+(cherry picked from commit 22ef69b25fa60f4543dc72cb7a8d2f88b789ce43)
