After moving Confluence half of tables in pages are missing

Question

Due to reorganization we have moved our Confluence server to a new location and to a fresh install of Confluence. All looked well, but few of our employees started noticing that when they were editing pages that contained large tables, some part of them were not displayed in edit screen. The only way to bring them back seems to be "Revert to last published version" option. Is there something I've missed when moving Confluence instances? If not is there some possibility to just simply republish all pages?

Just to make clear, tables are perfectly visible when just viewing the page, the problem only occurs when trying to edit.

Hello,

1. We're using 6.9.0 version of Confluence (Server edition) and we did not upgrade it while migrating to new infrastructure, just imported data on fresh Confluence install.

2. Reindex was done if you are talking about "Search indexes" in Confluence administration panel

3&4. It's both, nested inside macro and simple ones affected as well, we don't use many plugins, mainly Gliffy and usually data that was generated using that plugin is not used in any tables.
Also we've noticed that's it's not only tables, generally pages that have more info than fits in single average desktop screen  are affected, some info is missing, formatting is affected, etc. It all fixes itself if we do "revert to last published version" workaround but it's very cumbersome to fix it this way.

Also as we're planning to make an upgrade for Confluence this weekend, I'm already testing out new version in test environment, and same behavior appears in newest Confluence as well (6.15.2 version).

Thank you for looking into this.

Sincerely,
Jurgis

Hi Jurgis,

Thank you for your question! I'm happy to help out.

* Could you start by letting me know the Confluence version, if you upgraded during the migration, and the entire process you followed in migrating to the new location?
* Have you run a reindex yet?
* Are the tables located within another macro, or using an add-on, or are they just Confluence tables placed within the page?
* Does this occur for all pages with tables?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Shannon
