Hi --
I'm starting to use latex export more, and noticed three problems
related to tables:
- If the first column in a table has an inactive time stamp, then
strange things happen -- in various tests, I've seen only
seemingly random cells from a long table exported, or sometimes
only the header row (that doesn't have the time stamp in it) and
no other rows exported.
- If the text in the first column begins with a left bracket, then
the first cell in each row is blank.
- If a table is long enough that it should continue on a following
page, there's no page break -- instead, lines continue into the
bottom margin. What fits on that page prints, but nothing else
prints. If I break the table at the bottom of the page with an
empty line, the rest of the table continues as expected on the
following page.

At least with the current version I cannot reproduce this - but I
have been fiddling with the Export. Please try if you still have
this issue, and if yes, make me a test case.

Same as above.

This is a problem with LaTeX, a special environment is needed
for such tables, and because Org does not know the font and paper
sizes, it cannot automatically switch.
However, you can do now:
#+ATTR_LaTeX: longtable
| a | b | c |
|-----------|
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
.........
which will switch to the long table environment just for this table.
Hope this helps.
