Tiny Traps in Jmp and JSL

[#1]

In Jmp and JSL there are some tiny traps which can be annoying.

One remedy is to know where such traps are hidden - so, let's create a map!
- and stay away from the dangerous corners.

this post focuses on tiny issues. Many of them are "higher order" - meaning they only show up when several features are combined.
NB: There is a related community post with the "big" pitfals:

After triggering operations from the Tables menu via JSL, Jmp continues with the code already before the table values are available. -> add wait() (?) or dt << run formulas()	Why is there an empty table if you don't add wait（）?
Platforms
Most of the Platforms of the Tables menu produce their output by ignoring hidden &  excluded rowstates. exception: Tables/summary	Handling Hidden / Excluded rows / columns in Table-handling up to now every Jmp user had to learn about this trap door "the hard way" - future Jmp users could be warned (automatically by Jmp

*) the second list is there to show that even for tiny traps Jmp dev team does a great job to remove them. 
Unfortunately, the list is far from complete ... @ Jmp Support, could you help ?

Actually, I think a community post is not the right place to do this, but it's a place to start.
If we keep it slim: just links to other community posts, I will try to add such links to the list on top.

Maybe we need something more professional than a community post with links?

- option to discuss individual topics (for now, please do this in the linked post)

- option to sort and restrict the list (e.g. select just Table issues > Jmp v17.1)
- possibility for more / (all ?) user to edit the list

I think it is still good to have someone summarize/recap the discussion (that's how I learn of certain things that may not be an interest now but can be useful for future projects).

So I have to thank your effort here.

Great work, Holger @hogi
