If you use different styles for individual cells in a table to set the background color, e.g., <td class="table-warning">...</td>, the hovering effect is not propagated to those cells.

I am not an expert on CSS, but I was able to add the following lines to my CSS file:

.table-hover tbody tr:hover > .table-warning {
  background-color: #ffe8a1;
}

I don't know if this is the best way, or even if it is correct, it works for me. I think it would be a good addition to a future release.
