Issue Summary

Copying Table from View Mode cannot be pasted into other editors retaining the same format or layout

Steps to Reproduce

1. Install Confluence
2. Create a page with table in it as Fixed Width
3. Fill in long text in the fixed width cell so that it is displayed in more than 1 row

   <p class="auto-cursor-target"><br /></p>
   <table class="fixed-table wrapped"><colgroup><col style="width: 50.0px;" /><col style="width: 52.0px;" /><col style="width: 75.0px;" /></colgroup>
   <tbody>
   <tr>
   <td>a</td>
   <td>b</td>
   <td>cccccccccc</td></tr>
   <tr>
   <td>106</td>
   <td>aaaa</td>
   <td><br /></td></tr>
   <tr>
   <td>80</td>
   <td>bbb</td>
   <td><br /></td></tr>
   <tr>
   <td>103</td>
   <td>cccccc</td>
   <td><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>
   <p class="auto-cursor-target"><br /></p>
   

   

4. Save the page
5. In View Mode, highlight the table and copy it to other editor app such as
   • Microsoft Outlook
   • FoxMail
   • Gmail (web)
   • Hotmail (web)

copy table from safari.mp4

Expected Results

The pasted table is having the same exact width (since it is Fixed Width), layout and formatting as what's in the Confluence page

Actual Results

The pasted results are different depends on the browsers where the table is copied from:

Copying from different browsers seem to paste into different result. Microsoft Outlook is used used for paste testing in this the screenshot below

Workaround

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