Hi
Thank you for reporting the issue.
Just noting that this happens with other blocks too, like the image block.
There is no perfect solution for this, because the necessary CSS changes would affect the layout of existing websites.

There is some historical context and discussions on this:
#4127

As a user, the recommended way to work around this is to place the table block inside a group block, or a column.

Thanks for the context @carolinan - agreed this is a known behaviour that effects man blocks.

That being the case I'm going to close this issue for now.
