CSS column-count splitting my table into two different columns

Question

I'm trying to create newspaper-like columns on my page. However, my page contains tables, and in IE, Chrome, Safari, and Opera, the table is being separated into two different columns;this is not the behavior that I want. Where there is a table, I would like to have it entirely within one column. Here is some code:

.newspaper {
    -webkit-column-count: 2; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
    -moz-column-count: 2; /* Firefox */
    column-count: 2;
    -webkit-column-gap: 5px; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
    -moz-column-gap: 5px; /* Firefox */
    column-gap: 5px;
}

<div class="newspaper">
  <table>
    <tr><td>Table Row 1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Table Row 2</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Table Row 3</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Table Row 4</td></tr>
  </table>
  <p>Paragraph</p>
</div>

An easy way to see the problem and fiddle with it is to use Chrome and go to http://www.w3schools.com/css/tryit.asp?filename=trycss3_column-gap and paste over the code in their example with mine. If you try Firefox you will see that the table stays entirely within the left column.

Add column-break-inside: avoid; to your table:

.newspaper {
    -webkit-column-count: 2; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
    -moz-column-count: 2; /* Firefox */
    column-count: 2;
    -webkit-column-gap: 10px; /* Chrome, Safari, Opera */
    -moz-column-gap: 10px; /* Firefox */
    column-gap: 10px;
    border:dotted 1px #ccc;
}
.newspaper table {
    -webkit-column-break-inside:avoid;
    -moz-column-break-inside:avoid;
    -o-column-break-inside:avoid;
    -ms-column-break-inside:avoid;
    column-break-inside:avoid;
}

<div class="newspaper">
  <table>
    <tr><td>Table Row 1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Table Row 2</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Table Row 3</td></tr>
    <tr><td>Table Row 4</td></tr>
  </table>
  <p>Paragraph</p>
</div>
