pasting a table row copies over the row above

Jon Jon

When I copy and paste a table row, it pastes into the row above where the cursor is, copying over any existing content. Is this a known bug? Is there a workaround?

Hi @Jon Jon ,

Do you have a video recording what was happening?

Cheers.

Jon Jon

no -- it's basically like this:

Table Row 1

Table Row 2

Table Row 3

Blank new row

If I copy table row 1 and put the cursor in in the first cell of blank new row, when I paste, instead of the copy appearing in the blank row, it overwrites the row above (row 3).

hmm, strange, I can't reproduce it on 7.13.0

Could you describe in detail how you did it?

Do you use shortcut to copy/paste?

Is there any third party plugin installed on your Confluence instance?

Which browser do you use?

Are you always able to replicate the issue even on a blank new page?

Jon Jon

Ah -- just tried a new page -- the problem doesn't recur. The table in question has been edited a fair bit, rows added, merged, moved ...

Jon Jon

Ah .. doesn't happen on a new page. The table in question has been edited a fair bit, rows added, removed, merged, moved ... So I guess it's corrupted somehow. Is there any way to see the markup behind it ?

Jon Jon

I used Confluence a long time ago -- looks like in the latest versions the markup gets converted to HTML and becomes no longer viewable/editable ? Anyway, the rtf / HTML source looks ok to me (the right number of tags and closing tags).

The complexity of the table is in a section where the last cell in a row spans 7 rows, and that cell has another table inside it -- but the HTML for it all looks fine to me. But the bug still recurs when copying and pasting a row above that section...

@Nam Ho

I can get the bug to recur by:

creating a table with multiple columns
merging a cell spanning several rows
putting a small table inside the merged cell
adding some content to rows above
adding a new row
copying one of the rows with content
trying to paste into the new empty row.

Not sure what part of is making it happen (for example whether you need the table within table) -- seems like a bug for the developers to troubleshoot (?)

Jon Jon

works without the embedded table -- it's the merged cells that seem to cause the bug

Hi @Jon Jon ,

I've created table like you said but still can't replicate the issue.

Could you send me HTML of your table ?

Which browser are you using?

Jon Jon

<table class="confluenceTable"><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><th class="confluenceTh"><br></th><th class="confluenceTh"><br></th></tr><tr><td class="confluenceTd"><br></td><td class="confluenceTd"><br></td></tr><tr><td class="confluenceTd">ASDFADS</td><td class="confluenceTd">ADSFADF</td></tr></tbody><colgroup><col><col></colgroup><tbody><tr><td class="confluenceTd">ASDFADS</td><td class="confluenceTd">ADSFADF</td></tr><tr><td class="confluenceTd"><br></td><td class="confluenceTd" rowspan="2"><br></td></tr><tr><td class="confluenceTd"><br></td></tr><tr><td class="confluenceTd"><br></td><td class="confluenceTd"><br></td></tr></tbody></table>

The <col><col> doesn't look right to me ...
