What happened to inline rendering in tables? Unexpected scrollbars reduce readability

[Jeroen Westenberg]

For a while now I am experiencing unexpected behavior when using inline links within tables in Confluence.

When I create a table and include a link to another page (inline link rendering), a horizontal scrollbar appears below the table. This occurs even when there is clearly sufficient space within the table to display the content without overflow.

Observed behavior:

• Adding an inline link inside a table cell triggers a horizontal scrollbar beneath the table.
• The scrollbar appears regardless of available space.
• The table layout becomes visually cluttered and inconsistent.

This behavior seems to be a regression or recent change in how inline elements are rendered within tables. It worked more cleanly before, without introducing scrollbars in such cases.
