      Issue Summary

      When moving text from one cell to another, Confluence does not recognise the changes as "Removed/Added", instead it is highlighting it as "Formatting was changed" which makes it difficult to identify the changes.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a page and insert a table
      2. Add text "x" to cells under the first column
      3. Publish the page
      4. Edit the page >> remove the "x" from first column, add "x" text to the cells under second column
      5. Compare the two versions in page history

      Expected Results

      When comparing, the removed text should be highlighted in red and marked as "This line was removed." and text under second column should be highlighted in green and marked as "This line was added."

      Actual Results

      When comparing pages, the removed "x" text is not visible nor highlighted in red,
      and text under second column is highlighted as "Formatting was changed."

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
