I have a page containing a 14-column, multi-row table that does not exhibit the 'sticky headings' behaviour. The page has no section formatting. The columns are characterised as follows:
However, neither of these issues affects the sticky behaviour.
With a bit of trial and error I discovered that when a cell is merged with the cell above, the sticky behaviour stops. Is this a known limitation?
Hello @richardofrugeley,
Thank you for reporting this.
I was able to find a bug that has been reported for this issue:
Please click This affects my team and you will be automatically added to the list of watchers and receive any updates going forward.
At this time, I am not aware of a workaround to use sticky headings after cells have been merged.
Let me know if you have any questions about this.
Regards,
Shannon
EDIT: Can see https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-23408. I think this documents the improvements in table cell copying and pasting.
The problem with this is more extensive than is obvious, at first glance.
I had one of these, and finally figured out that it was the merged cells causing the non-scrolling.
But...
Even having inserted fresh rows above the problem ones in the table, thrown some token text into those cells, de-designating the original heading rows as such, and designating the new heading rows as such, the heading row doesn't stay on-screen when the table is scrolled.
So it's as if the original table is somehow contaminated by it ever having contained merged cells.
I was able to get this working in our stage of 6.15.4 by creating a new table, no merged cells, and mass copying and pasting table cells. But that mass copying and pasting doesn't work in our current version of 6.9.0, and I soon remembered that it never has.
*lengthy exasperated sigh*
