From my Server days, this would happen when copy pasting content from elsewhere - somewhere along the process hard or soft returns would get inserted. And sometimes it would only become obvious/visible in the View mode.

You can either sort it out manually, try Remove formatting (or whatever it's called in the menu), or try copy-paste text via Notepad or Text edit (in plain text mode), to remove styles that are being copied over and wrongly interpreted by Confluence.

Note: Sometimes you may have pure text content BUT if the cell previously contained formatted content, the stuff you're inserting would inherit the previous formatting.

Server editor was really really bad, which is why we had a rule 'never copy paste stuff from elsewhere without stripping the formatting first' :)
