      Issue Summary

      The Legacy macro in Jira issues interprets text within curly braces '{}' in issue descriptions as special values. This interpretation causes table rows containing '{}' to collapse into a single row, which distorts the table data format.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create an issue in Jira and feed the description filed with the table
      2. Fill out rows with data containing '{}'. like API calls with variables included. e.g. POST questions-list/questionnaire/v2/{questionnaire-responses}/123
      3. Use Jira legacy macro on Confluence Cloud and include a description field as well.
      4. Then publish the Confluence page

      Expected Results

      On the Confluence page, The Jira issues description field should render the table data in the original format similar to how it appears on the Jira issue

      Actual Results

      The table will be rendered with a few rows collapsed into a single row.

      Workaround

      The only workaround is to replace the '{}' with any other symbols like '<>'
