Can confirm that too, tested in Gutenberg 3.5.0
It's also not working on MS Edge

Can confirm this is still an issue in Gutenberg 3.4.0 as well.

The data-mce-selected is unable to be set on cells inside the table, it only gets set on the table tag.

There was a contenteditable="true" on the table element, which is not supported in Edge & IE.

The issue seems to be solved by the following commit: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/pull/8767

Tested on: IE 11, Edge 17

@designsimply can you check if this is still an issue?
