[Serna] Maddeningly difficult to insert some DITA elements


I am currently writing a DITA Task topic.  Within a <step> element 
you can insert a <choicetable> element, which in turn can contain 
<chrow> elements, representing a row in a special two-column 
table.  When you insert the <chrow> element, Serna thoughtfully also 
inserts the two obligatory cell elements, <choption> and <chdesc>.

Trouble is, in Show Markup mode, the <chrow> element is suppressed 
for some reason.  It is nigh impossible to place the cursor to insert 
the next <chrow> element.  I have tried in the Show Markup and Hide 
Markup views, and the Content Map outline, but for some reason the 
cursor finishes up within the <step> element but never within the 
<choicetable> element after the previous <chrow>.  I prefer to try 
and keep in the document window and use the mouse as little as 
possible when entering content inititally.  But this inconvenience 
prevent that way of working.

Is anyone else experiencing this annoyance/bug?

Regards,
Hedley
