      Workaround

      Option 1 - Using Confluence Source Editor

      1. Install the Confluence Source Editor app (from Atlassian Labs) in your Confluence Server/Data Center.
      2. Navigate to the affected page and select Edit at the top of the page.
      3. Select the Open in source editor button ('<>' symbol in the upper-right corner).
      4. Replace the below characters with ./ and .\
        ../ 
        ..\ 
        …/ 
        …\
        
      5. Click Apply then Update
      6. Refresh the page.

      Option 2 - Database Manipulation

      1. Find the page ID via UI —> How to get Confluence page ID
      2. Stop Confluence
      3. Create a backup of Confluence's database. Save somewhere offsite for safekeeping.
      4. Execute the below query if the Collaborative Editing is enabled on Confluence;
        update CONTENTPROPERTIES set stringval='synchrony-recovery' where propertyname = 'sync-rev-source' and contentid=<Page Id>;
        
      5. Run the following SQL query on Confluence's database:
        select * from bodycontent b where b.contentid=<Page Id>;
        
      6. Get the bodycontent from the above query and open it in a text editor.
      7. Replace the below characters with ./ and .\
        ../ 
        ..\ 
        …/ 
        …\
        
      8. Execute the below query to update bodycontent
        update bodycontent set body='<Copy Edited Content Here>' where contentid=<Page Id>;
        
      9. Start Confluence

      Please apply the changes on the test or staging environment first to prevent any data loss.
