HTML/CSS Jumping Around

Question

I am having some issues where the HTML/CSS lines of code seem to be jumping around when engaging the button to turn on different styles (LIKE a heading/paragraph style)

It would seem that the HTML should be exact and start when I click and engage the button to turn on the header (say Line 124 begin and then Line 125 closed). I look at the source code and it is not matching the exact line from where the cursor is entered.

Also, does anyone know if Confluence uses HTML5 exclusively or if this shift in version could be relevant or not? Anyone have any other instances of the HTML jumping around on the lines from the buttons on the toolbars?

Well, for a mini-history lesson, Confluence was built on C/C++ base code with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. It was built by Caroline and Kevin. Styles is simply the programming functionality from Word that was mimicked to Confluence for this one. Styles are use for the button functionality in the black and white tool bar underneath the browser.

Again, the headings are the buttons in the upper left corner similar to Paragraph, Heading 1, Heading 2, etc. These buttons are the same programming functionality of MICROSOFT Word transferred over to Confluence for publishing volumes of documents.

I did confirm on site we are running different instances of Confluence (server and cloud) which is more than likely a cost save for our team. This issues might be isolated and I think it is to the fact that we are running a server instance and not the Atlassian cloud instance.

More information later on this one.

Hello again Carlisle,

We’re not exactly sure what the style button is you’re referencing nor do we know exactly where you are within Confluence when you’re seeing this button. Can you please provide a screenshot of where you’re seeing this button and CSS issue?

We look forward to your response to ensure we get your issue resolved.

Regards,

Again, the context was mentioned in the above, but I can elaborate on this one. The button does not open and close the properly upon execution of the button in the upper left corner. These style settings are similar to Word and should be executable on one click of the button to the exact spot on the cursor. Example

Thanks for the video tool. I might be able to capture something LIKE that on site. I will continue to research.
