On Edition tables, the first element cannot be added via the contextual menu it must be added through the toolbar dropdown which is confusing for users.

I set the Importance as "enhancement". The creation tool is available on existing lines. Indeed, at the opening, if no line is selected, the creation tool is not available in the context menu (you have first to select a line)

IIRC, this is (or at least was) because of a technical limitation of SWT under Linux, where it is/was not possible to react on a right-click inside the table control when it is empty. Maybe the limitation is not true anymore, and maybe we should do better on platforms where it is possible, even if it means the behavior will become platform-dependant.
