[JRASERVER-68160] Enter a new line in a table cell under visual mode cause malformed table upon saving
This is an unfortunate show-stopper as the table would have helped a great deal in encouraging users to provide sculpted details to assist in investigation and prompt resolution of issues. A set of our request types need to be put on hold since this is broken. Hope the issue will be resolved soonest - thanks in advance!
Interestingly this has impacts on the add-on side. For example, a popular Xray add-on (from Xpand) using the table for copying its test steps in order to create a defect for the failed test cases. Very annoying (sometimes impossible) to fix all cells manually in the text mode. Please fix this.
