t

Documentation:
Non-nil means automatically exit the follow mode.
When nil, the follow mode will stay on and be active in any table
the cursor enters. Since the table follow filed mode messes with the
window configuration, it is not recommended to set this variable to nil,
except maybe locally in a special file that has mostly tables with long
fields.

You can customize this variable.

This variable was introduced, or its default value was changed, in version 24.1 of Emacs.
