Problem

Not able to make width fixed for a column of the table in a page

Environment

Confluence 7.18.3

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a page with below source code 

  <p class="auto-cursor-target">
    <br/>
  </p>
  <table class="wrapped fixed-width" style="width: 1087.0px;">
    <colgroup> <col style="width: 76.0px;"/> <col style="width: 1010.0px;"/> </colgroup>
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <th>Spalte 1</th>
        <th>Spalte 2</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>test</td>
        <td>testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
  <p class="auto-cursor-target">
    <br/>
  </p>

• You can observe , you are not able to change the width with the help of cursor.
• word-break:break-all;word-wrap:break-word - has been added in the below source code use that

  <p class="auto-cursor-target">
    <br/>
  </p>
  <table class="wrapped fixed-width" style="width: 1087.0px;word-break:break-all;word-wrap:break-word">
    <colgroup> <col style="width: 76.0px;"/> <col style="width: 1010.0px;"/> </colgroup>
    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <th>Spalte 1</th>
        <th>Spalte 2</th>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>test</td>
        <td>testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest</td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
  <p class="auto-cursor-target">
    <br/>
  </p>

• Now you will be able to adjust the width of a column
• Publish the page and you will see width goes back to default and not the one which you kept.

Expected Results

The width of the table should be fixed and , it should remain the same once page published 

Actual Results

The width of the table should be fixed on the fly and , it doesn't be the same once the page is published.

To make the width fixed by using curser , we need to add "word-break:break-all;word-wrap:break-word" in the HTML style as below

Workaround

add in HTML style "word-break:break-all;word-wrap:break-word", 

This is just help in edit mode and will go away once you publish

Notes

This works on 7.13.4 , source code as below

<p class="auto-cursor-target">
  <br/>
</p>
<table class="wrapped fixed-table">
  <colgroup> <col style="width: 76.0px;"/> <col style="width: 1010.0px;"/> </colgroup>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th>Spalte 1</th>
      <th>Spalte 2</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>test</td>
      <td>testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>
<p class="auto-cursor-target">
  <br/>
</p>
