Hey there @Fun Man Andy ,

The behavior you reported did happen to me once, but seems to be working fine now.

If you can still reproduce it, make sure to report a Support ticket and we'll take a look.

Hey @Fun Man Andy

FYI - I cannot reproduce this on several sites (running different plans).

That chat experience, though...

@Fun Man Andy I also cannot reproduce this. When I add a table, the first row is automatically a header row and the text in that first cell is automatically bold.

I tried setting the table to not have a header row—the text in the cell is not bold because it's a regular cell. When I set the table to have a header row again, the text remained not bolded, but I was able to select it and make it bold.

I don't do AI anything, and your experience only reinforces what a waste of time it is.

@Thorsten Letschert _Decadis AG_ @Barbara Szczesniak - so, Fun Fact: it did it to me the whole day and then the next day.... couldn't replicate it!? It's been fine since.

Unbelievable! 🤣😝

@Thiago P _Atlassian Support_ - thanks so much! Since that day it is no longer doing it. So bizarre.

Thanks for the answer!
