If a table is populated in a rich text field, the HTML code that gets generated would look like the following:
<table class="ql-table-blob" border="0" style="width: 96pt;" width="128">
<colgroup>
<col style="width: 48pt;" width="64">
</colgroup>
<tbody>
<tr style="height: 14.4pt;" height="19">
<td style="height: 14.4pt; width: 48pt;" width="64" height="19" class="xl65" rowspan="1" colspan="1">id</td>
<td style="width: 48pt;" width="64" class="xl65" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Name</td>
</tr>
<tr style="height: 14.4pt;" height="19">
<td style="height: 14.4pt;" height="19" class="xl65" rowspan="1" colspan="1" align="right">750141</td>
<td style="" class="xl65" rowspan="1" colspan="1">Lohit.B</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
This table could be populated by several methods such as an email template choice, custom component/code, or simply by pasting a copied table.
If you try to remove any character from the table, the entire table gets removed.
This is considered to be working as designed and is a noted limitation in our documentation. There are several tags which are not supported for editing in a rich text field (inputRichText).
Doc stating unsupported feature: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/bundle/lightning-input-rich-text/documentation
Quote: "The table and header formats support pasted content only".
Explanation: Paste/population is allowed. Editing is not allowed.
