It's vital and critical to be able to set precise dimensions of all elements in
a drawing - that's what a drawing is often about: Precise scaled representation
of something. Now, it's true that a table is not a typical Draw element, but -
it's still in the context of a Drawing.

In impress, it is important to be set dimensions of elements in a slide,
including a table - it is an aspect of the design.


... but all of that is beside the point, because this bug is not about making a
_precise_ setting, but making _a_ setting, even an imprecise one.

That something quite different. A table row may contain multiple paragraphs
with multiple lines within the paragraph; or its text may be empty, with some
non-textual objects located inside the cells somehow.

The need is to control the height of a row. We can control the height of a
textbox, and of a table - and in the same sense, also the height of a row. 

Such control is possible in Calc and in Writer - both by dragging and via the
context menu. That should also be the case in Impress and Draw.
