Table format corrupts when copy and pasting tables from Excel or Word into WYSIWYG

    Description

      Corruption on pasting tables from Word or Excel. Sometimes they can be pasted and sometime they get destroyed. Did repair a large table using wiki markup. It was a long job are wiki markup does not behave very consistently. A lot of trial and error.

      Examples:
      1. Whenever we have more than one section and the page layout is visible (dotted lines), a copied table (via CMD + C from Excel) gets completely scrambled (only content without any formatting), as soon as I delete the sections so there is only one section I can copy the same thing and have a beautiful table. This seems to be reproducable among different users etc.

      2. Pasting Excel tables with headers directly into Confluence will not work. You need to either paste on the second row or remove the header row
