Cannot publish page on Confluence on Cloud

Question

I can't publish some pages on Confluence for several days already. It just happened with some particular pages, not all. I tried create a new one and copy all the contents but still failed.

I have this same issue right now and my page is 100% blank. "Unable to communicate with the server. Saving is not possible at the moment"

I had the same thing happen on the cloud hosted confluence.

Turned out I had a vertical tab character in a code block.  It was probably copied out of a terminal window.   the code block rendered it as an empty block like a cursor.

Deleted the chars and it published.

$ grep -o "\- 135.*" /c/dev/junk.txt
- 135
$ grep -o "\- 135.*" /c/dev/junk.txt | od -t a
0000000 - sp 1 3 5 vt vt cr nl

Hi @[deleted],

Looks like some macros on the page might be referring to other applications, due to which you are noticing the communication error.

Please verify all the macro content and if possible spilt the content into multiple pages to identify the root cause.

Thanks,

Kiran.
