The table column size is automatically changed in view mode

Question

I have my table columns in confluence sized properly in edit mode. However, when i saved it, in view mode, the columns size are automatically-changed in a way that it's so hard to read. This is very inconvenient. Hope Confluence developer team can fix

Hey,

we use Cloud, yes.
It happened in safari, firefox, chrome and vivaldi.

I couldn't reproduce the behaviour on a new page yesterday, but it appeared on pages that had existing tables that were a few days old up to pages that were a few years old

@Jess Tran As I can see from the comment @Björn Schill left on the Jira ticket, he has found the bug reported for this: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-75324

You may want to go to this ticket and indicate that it affects your team and watch it for developments.

Hello @Björn Schill!

Does this happen for your team on Cloud? Does it trigger with other browsers or in incognito mode?

Here, placing a simple table should not cause any resizing and stick to an even distribution. Some other factor (or browser setting) could influence this behavior, and a quick test in other browsers could help.

Best regards
