      Issue Summary

      Issue descriptions containing tables with merged cells are not retrievable using the REST API with expand=renderedFields.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Add table with two column to Jira issue description.
      2. Merge two columns
      3. Make RETS API call https://yoursite.atlassian.net/rest/api/3/issue/IssueKey?expand=renderedFields

      Expected Results

      Response to have correct HTML text for the description field

      "description": "<p>test</p>\n\n<div class='table-wrap'>\n<table class='confluenceTable'><tbody>\n<tr>\n<th class='confluenceTh'>&nbsp;</th>\n<th class='confluenceTh'>&nbsp;</th>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='confluenceTd'><span class=\"image-wrap\" style=\"\"><img src=\"/rest/api/3/attachment/content/10170\" alt=\"image-20250630-142906.png\" height=\"261\" width=\"986\" style=\"border: 0px solid black\" /></span></td>\n<td class='confluenceTd'>&nbsp;</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td class='confluenceTd'>&nbsp;</td>\n<td class='confluenceTd'>&nbsp;</td>\n</tr>\n</tbody></table>\n</div>\n",

      Actual Results

      We do not get the correct HTML for the description field.

       "description": "<p>Test</p>\n\n<!-- ADF macro (type = 'table') -->",
