TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'colIndex') when using table handles in BlockNote

Description

When using BlockNote with table handles enabled, I frequently encounter the following error:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'colIndex') at HTMLDivElement.<anonymous>

This error occurs randomly when interacting with tables in the editor.

Environment

"@blocknote/react": "^0.22.0"
"react": "^18.0.0"
Chrome Version: 132.0.6834.160 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Code Example

// Editor component

<BlockNoteView
    editor={editor}
    theme="light"
    onChange={handleChange}
    emojiPicker={false}
    slashMenu={false}
    editable={!readOnly}
    formattingToolbar={false}
    tableHandles={true}
/>

Steps to Reproduce

Create a table in the editor
Enable table handles
Interact with the table (e.g., selecting cells, adding/removing rows/columns)
The error occurs randomly during these interactions

Expected Behavior
Table handles should work smoothly without throwing undefined property errors.

Additional Context

The error seems to be related to the table handles feature
It occurs intermittently and is hard to reproduce consistently
The editor still functions but the error appears in the console

Would appreciate any help in resolving this issue or guidance on proper configuration of table handles.

same error when deleting the last cell of a table

"@blocknote/react": "^0.22.0"
"react": "^19.0.0"

Also we got this:

@nperez0111

@nperez0111 do you think #1446 will address this?

Hard to say without a full reproduction, but I did partially rewrite the table handle behavior, so I think it should address this.

Closing this as a lot of related code has changed. Please open a new issue with reproducible example if it still occurs
