Resize Tables Automatically

I am getting tired of always having to resize my window to get tables to
resize. A quick example

If I make a 2 x 2 table, put a dozen returns in a cell, the table expands to
reflect this big return filled cell. Now, if I select and delete all these
returns, the table will stay large. To get it to resize, I can resize my window
in the lower right. Or, I can use the clear column width and height buttons to
get it small again.

What I really want is real time table resizing. I am certain in past versions,
there was a preference that said "automatically resize tables". I cannot find
this. Is there a keyboard shortcut, or automatic way to make this happen?

I am using DW 8 on a mac.

F5 will work.

To update the table cell rendering in Design View, just click in any
adjacent table cell or table or other part of the page.

Or press F5.

Used to be a preference known as Faster Table Editing (Deferred Update)
which you could UNcheck to get real-time updating.

They've now compromised by not offering real-time updating of the table cell
(too memory intensive as I understand it) as you're editing but it'll update
once you click anywhere on the page outside that cell (even just clicking an
adjacent cell) or manually refresh (F5).
