Prior to Confluence 4.0, users could cut/copy/paste multiple table rows in Confluence using wiki markup. In 4.0, users can only do this for one row at a time.
This improvement will permit:
- copying and pasting tables between different pages in Confluence
- copying and pasting row / cell / whole tables from pages outside of Confluence
- and of course copy and pasting row / cell / whole tables within a page
This improvement will permit users to use the mouse to select the desired cells / rows or even a whole table and then copy and paste using CTRL + V.
The following scenarios are now possible:
- Copy and pasting adjacent cells within a row. Pasting will overwrite cells from where the cursor is
- Copy and pasting multiple table rows
- Copy and pasting whole tables
- Automatic adjustment of the size of the target table should the clipboard contents be too large
This improvement also makes it easier to select whole tables "completely" with some adjustments been made to selection code.

[CONFSERVER-23408] Ability for users to copy and paste tables and multiple rows and cells
Dave created this issue to handle the ie issues as there is a limitation with tinymce https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-23944
as per discussion with Bill and Dave i've created issue https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFDEV-6619 to handle the highlighting of the full rows to cater for the inability to copy/paste partial multiple rows selection.
Dave, IE is moving the cursor outside the pasted element infocus, which causes to push the cells if a users types text in there.
point 2 of the issue description should read 'copy and paste multiple whole rows'.

added a comment - I also need this, and toss my vote on this issue.
Please put wiki markup editor back! Atlassian did a mistake when they removed it. They do a much a BIGGER mistake by rejecting to put it back in.

the handling of merge cells is out of scope for this issue but it does not invoke weird browser behaviour, it just places the nested cells inside one cell, as per current functionality.
Apart from the above two issues raised the functionality seems to be working fine.
