Bug in Confluence tables

Question

I used TAB button to create a new row. Now it seems the new row has broken the table.

If I click on the remove row action on some cells of the row, nothing happens, or it pops up an error message saying the team is notified.

I cannot remove the row or add new rows below.

Any idea how to fix this?

I think it's triggered by merging cells then copy and paste. I have a table that the left rows are merged. I tried to copy and paste some rows and columns and it broke the table.

I have reverted back to a version before the change to resolve the issue.

1. Only used Chrome

2. Yes, I asked my team members to try and they faced the same issue

3. No, just one table

4. No

5. Chrome

6. Linux and Mac OSX

Hello @Chaoming Li !

As I understand, you are facing problems when creating a new table row via tabbing. What happens is that the row you just inserted seems to break the whole table and table operations do not work as expected.

I tried to replicate this issue in my Confluence Cloud site but was unable to. This is what I see when I try to replicate the issue:

The behavior is consistent in both the New Editor (Fabric) and the Legacy Editor (tinyMCE). With this in mind, I would like to ask you a few questions:

* Is this behavior present regardless of the browser being used?
* Is this affecting any other user?
* Is this affecting all tables in your site?
* Is this affecting only newly created tables?
* What browser were you using when the issue appeared?
* What Operating System (OS) were you using when the issue appeared?

As a first try to fix this, I recommend that you:

* Try replicating the issue with another browser.
* Check if the issue is present even in Incognito / Private mode of your browser.
* Try replicating the issue in a newly created page and table.

Let us hear from you! Looking forward to your reply.
