Tables in comments and custom fields not resizing

Joe McArdle

At some point over the past week, something on Jira has changed to where tables in comments are no longer displaying correctly. The column widths are huge, and there is no way to resize them; they snap back to the original size. I cannot get to the right hand side of the tables as they disappear off the right hand side of the screen and are you are not able to scroll over to it.

Has anyone else experienced this? We have not changed any settings on our side to cause this, and it only began in the last week.

Extra info: when I am inserting the table I am copy pasting it, I am not making a table from scratch. We have not had any issues doing this over the past 5 years so I am not sure why it has now started being an issue. The most common instance of this is adding email details (from, to, subject, time, date)

Hi @Joe McArdle welcome to the community.  I'm not experiencing the same behavior when I create a new table or paste an existing one but I may be using different steps than you are doing.  When you edit the page, does it say it's using the old editor by any chance?  If it does, you could try converting to the new editor. I'm using the new editor to test.  Have you tried different browsers to see if you have the same behavior?  I'm using Edge.  Do other users have the same behavior?

I took a quick look on Atlassian's Jira Site and didn't see anything related to this specific issue but you're more than welcome to look yourself.

If you're still having issues, and have steps to recreate the issue, you could use the above button and contact Atlassian Support if you're the Admin.  

Hope that helps.
