Table cell alignment not exactly aligned

Casey Maynard

When I have two tables above one another and I adjust the table width (in fixed mode), the alignment has a 'blue line' indicator that you are aligned. And the line stops moving once it is 'aligned'. The problem is that the blue line is NOT QUITE exactly aligned. It is slightly unaligned to the left of the line above and I have to tweek it slightly to the left to the the alignment to be exact. Am I the only one experiencing this issue?

I really wish Atlassian would put more table options in the toolbar; It would help with my page formatting

Example: Create a field to change the table properties like:

Table width = 50%
Table width = 800px

Potential workaround until resolved:

Confluence Source Editor is the free add-on to do this.

Thanks for the solution. I think you are suggesting this as a solution because I can set the exact width of a column to match the corresponding width of the other table's cell column with which I am trying to align?

While I can see that as a solution, it is not a practical one. I say this, in that the number of steps to get the alignment exact is time consuming, whereas, just retweeking the alignment visually is the simple.

My post was made in determining if my issue is a design flaw in the Confluence application that is already known, or am I the only user that uses Confluence this way and no one else experiences this issue?

Hi Casey,

I do have the same issue when working with fixed width tables. After lining up the 3rd columns (with the blue bar) they visibly look correct however are wrong in the code.

This definitely looks like a bug.

The issue is now added as a future suggestion: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-55423

Interesting. That fix seems to already be implemented. Correct? Except now there is a bug?
