Incorrect table end markers in Word 365

[dkager]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open a new document in Word 365 (tested in November 2023).
2. Go to Insert --> Table --> 3x3 Table.
3. Type 'Foobar' (or other text) in each cell.
4. Move the cursor onto the 'b' in Foobar in any cell.

Actual behavior:

At step 2:

r1 c1 tbl end tbl r1 c3 r2 c3 tbl end tbl r3 c3

At step 3:

r1 c1 Foobar tbl end tbl end tbl r3 Foobar c3 Foobar tbl

At step 4:

r1 c1 Foo tbl end bar tbl rc Foobar c3 Foobar

Expected behavior:

The correct braille markers (e.g. tbl and tbl end) should be shown in the correct places (e.g. at the start and end of the entire table). Note that I did not provide details for every table cell. They show up similarly in braille. It seems that the last column/row has special behavior compared to the other cells.
