      Issue Summary

      When copying text from a cell within a table that is inside an excerpt, pasting it results in the creation of a new table below, rather than simply pasting the text.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Open a Confluence page containing a table within an excerpt.
      2. Select and copy text from a cell in this table.
      3. Attempt to paste the copied text into another cell or location.

      Expected Results

      The copied text should be pasted directly into the designated cell or location without altering the table structure.

      Actual Results

      Instead of pasting just the text, a new table is created below the existing one when the text is pasted.

      Workaround

      To paste the content as plain text and avoid formatting issues, you can use CMD + Shift + V on macOS or Ctrl + Shift + V on Windows. However, if you need to retain HTML formatting while pasting, you can use Shift + Insert. This allows you to paste formatted content into another cell. We appreciate the feedback and hope this provides a comprehensive solution for different use cases.
