Flyspell's overlay for misspelled words conflicts with table.el
table.el adds its keymap as a text property to the text in table cells.
When Flyspell detects a misspelled word, it adds an overlay with a
keymap binding mouse2 to ‘flyspell-correct-word’. Apparently, this
overlay keymap overrides table.el’s ‘keymap’ text property.
The effect of this is that pressing TAB to move between table cells will
instead insert a literal tab character if your cursor happens to be on a
misspelled word. This is extremely annoying.
More generally, I’m not sure that an overlay keymap replacing the
‘keymap’ text property is desired behavior. At the very least, there
should be an escape hatch option on the overlay keymap that defers to
the ‘keymap’ text property for cases like Flyspell where replacing the
‘keymap’ text property is not desired behavior.
I am aware that there’s an option ‘flyspell-highlight-properties’ to
prevent Flyspell adding its overlay if the text has properties, but
that’s not really useful since most modes other than perhaps fundamental or text
will add various properties to text.

Thank you for your report.
Could you please provide a complete recipe for reproducing the
problem, starting with "emacs -Q", and loading all the necessary
packages and visiting files if needed? I think I know how to fix
this, but I need a clear-cut test case, and I don't use table.el to
easily know how to do that.
Also, is the problem only with TAB, or are there other keys which
conflict with the Flyspell overlay keymap?

I think we do have the necessary infrastructure in Emacs to achieve
the effect you want, it's just a matter of using it. Whether to use
it in any given case is a decision that should be made on a case by
case basis, since the user and/or application could want one or the
other.

1. emacs -Q
2. M-x flyspell-mode
3. M-x table-insert RET RET RET ... (the defaults are fine)
4. apple M-b TAB (apple is spelled correctly, TAB works)
5. asdf M-b TAB (wait for flyspell to mark the misspelling, TAB doesn't work)

Thanks. Does the change below give good results?

Works, thanks, although I had to rebase the patch on emacs-25 branch
as I couldn't get the master branch to compile.
