Why does merging of cells in a table not work on all cells?

I want to merge some cells in a table, so I select several cells and click on merge cells. For example I select 3 cells in the first column, and it works properly. Then I select the next 3 cells, and nothing happens after "pushing the button". The 3 cells before I can unmerge and merge several times, but the next 3 do not work. This happens several times within the table, and I didn't figure out yet, what is the cause to make it work or not. Please help me soon, because a customer is waiting for a finalized documentation in his Confluence-Wiki.

My customer uses a self-managed Confluence Version 7.3.1.

 

Thanks in advance for your professional support and hints.

Hi Giovanni,

welcome to the Community!

I came across the same effect when editing a quite large table. What helped in some cases was to click into a cell and extend marked cell area with keyboard by holding "Ctrl" + "Shift" pressed.

By no means I was able to get to the bottom of the case. I don't think the keyboard-based approach makes much difference. It might rather be a coincidence.

Cheers,
Daniel

Yes I agree, in the end my work-around was to copy/paste working cells or add new cells, till it worked to connect them. I also think that it's maybe a bug. Thank you for your reply!

Cheers

Workaround which works for me: Use another browser (In my case Safari works instead of Firefox)
