Creating JIRA Issues from table doesn't handle merged cells well

      summary

      Creating JIRA Issues from a table in a Confluence page that contains merged cells skips some of the cells. There doesn't seem to be a defined expected behaviour for merged cells in this feature, though.

      steps to reproduce
      1. create and save a Confluence page and merge cells in some of the columns;
      2. highlight the table content and create JIRA issues from it;
      3. click "Create issues from this table".

      Result: new issues are created from the merged cells and bottom cells in the same row. See the example table and missing issue links:
