Re: ColumnText bug - After adding a PdfTable

If I read the book, "iText in Action" correctly, I think this is by design.
ColumnText object operates in either text mode (phrases and chunks) or
composite mode.
It can't do both at the same time.

The relevant quote from chaper 7 page 210 is
"Switching to composite mode is done implicitly by using the method add-
Element(). All the text that was added in text mode previously and that hasn’t
been rendered yet will be cleared as soon as you use addElement(). You may
already have noticed this when using PdfPCell. If you create a cell
with a paragraph
as a parameter for the constructor and subsequently use PdfPCell.add-
Element(), the first paragraph is lost. This isn’t a bug; it’s a
feature. (Honest!)"
