Vertical alignment in table rows is being bottom-aligned when using H1 or H2 text

      Steps to reproduce:

      1) Create a table and fill it with some text.
      2) Change the text style to Heading1 or Heading2.
      3) Save the page.

      As result, the text will be vertically bottom-aligned (unnecessary space is added above the text in the rows).
      Table headers don't seem to be affected.
      Check the screenshots for more details.

      Only able to reproduce this issue on Firefox

            Maybe just a comment. We chose Confluence as our editor for almost all our internal documentation as well as documentation we share with customers. All of a sudden, after an update during the weekend, all our tables are messed up and we had to explain to our customers that it is temporary due to an error during an update and it will be fixed soon.

            Now, we have to explain to our customers that, after a few weeks, the look of ALL tables is still messed up and they better get used to it because the issue has been classified as trivial, even if this is probably a simple fix in a CSS. It may be trivial for you, but the professionalism of our company is important for us and we cannot afford to give messed up documentation to our customers because they pay us for our services and we want to keep them happy and we are proud of what we deliver to our customers.

            Hopefully, Atlassian will also understand that and try to put themselves in our shoes when situations like that happen. You cannot mess up things during a weekend and then say that you are sorry and let us live with the mess for 6 months. Come on, a simple CSS fix to have your customers (and ours) feel like using a piece of software developed by professional people.

            Thanks, Normand

            Yes, you are right Don. Your example clearly shows that the cells are not bottom-aligned, but the top padding seems to be the problem.

            To clarify, I don't think the text is bottom-aligned, so much as having padding before the content. I'll attach a screenshot with two cells with different amounts of content to demonstrate.

            Let us know if I've misunderstood so we can make sure we're fixing the right thing.

            I hope this issue will be solved quickly, even if it is ranked "Trivial". All our Wiki pages containing tables, that we are sharing with our customers look messy now.
            This issue just appeared after the last update of On-demand.
