Hi all,
I have found what is possibly a bug in the LaTeX export in org-mode but
I'm not totally sure.
I am no LaTeX expert, in fact I know very little about it. I have used
a process of ilimination to try and produce the simplest case I can to
demonstrate the issue.
What happens is that if I have a table at the top of my document before
a heading line and use the #+ATTR_LaTeX: setting it appears that the
settings used in that #+ATTR_LaTeX: line are then used for all
subsequent tables and other #+ATTR_LaTeX: lines are ignored.
If I add a heading line before the first #+ATTR_LaTeX: line then each
table works as expected.
To demonstrate the issue I have created the small org-mode file below.
Steps to reproduce:
- copy the below text into a .org file.
- remove the "Section One" heading.
- export to pdf.
You will see that the second table inherits the settings from the first.
Next:
- Put the "Section One" heading back.
- Export to pdf again.
You will see that now each table has it's own correct settings.
I hope this makes sense to someone :)
Regards
Bart

I can confirm this and think this is should be considered a bug:
Whatever Org does with the element before the first headline it should
not silently ignore the setting for following tables with
a #+ATTR_LaTeX option.
Thanks for reporting,

Hi Bart,
thanks for the detailed description, this is now fixed (not in a nice
way, but fixed anyway ...)
