In this case, there will be the following displayed in the status bar "Widget is 0x0 pixels, click HERE to enlarge". If you subsequently click on the status bar, then the widget will be enlarged to a more useful size.

When you have finished manipulating the children of the table, click the button marked "Done" to close the dialog.
