      Issue Summary

      Table formatting breaks for the copied tables (view mode) and pasted on the page.

      Steps to Reproduce

      This behaviour is observed with some of the legacy Table structures. The issue is might be due to copying and pasting some of old table structures from view mode to editor mode. Possibility of edge case, where table class would be "fixed-table".

      1. Setup Confluence 9.2.9
      2. Create a Test Page.
      3. Edit the Page and use the Source editor, paste the attached Storage Format - TableLegacySF
      4. Page in the Editor Mode displayed the Table but in View Mode, it just shows a blank.

      Expected Results

      Table in Edit Mode, should be same in the view mode.

      Actual Results

      Table in View Mode:

      Workaround

      As a user, you can change the table format from "Fixed Width" to "Responsive."

      1. Edit the page
      2. Click inside the table
      3. Click on the "Fixed width" dropdown in the toolbar and select either "Fixed width" or "Responsive" according to your table structure.
      4. Save page

      If you require precise fixed column widths, you have the option to disable the impacting feature.
