Long change bars are created when a table is in between 2

Hi Ed, 

I checked with FM 8 and FM 12: 

If the character format is applied only to a single character in each
paragraph, the change bars combine to a long line, "including" also the
tables. 

I do not see any kind of workaround in your suggestion, the bug here is
exactly what Simon was telling us. 

I haven't got FM 9 here right now, so I cannot say if the behaviour is
different. 

Best regards - Tino H. Haida

If I highlight a long sequence of paragraphs, and use the Paragraph Designer to apply a change bar, the tables are skipped. If I use the Character Designer to apply the change bar, then the tables are included.
