When I edited an answer to add a second markdown table, both the first and second tables rendered correctly in preview, but the second table does not render. I've waited about 10 minutes in case there is some cache/refresh issue, and also tried both Chrome (87.0.4280.88 64-bit win10) and Firefox (84.0.1 64-bit win10) with equivalent result.
I think the actual problem is that the preview works even if there is no blank line before the table header row.

Both instances of this table in markdown look correct in the preview here on meta... let me see if they render correctly once posted...
After posting, both instances look incorrect. Is the table malformed?

Can it please be made so that the preview also doesn't render tables if there's no blank line between the table header and the line of text above it, so it matches the actual post rendering?
