Issue Summary

When copying and pasting a table from Confluence to a Jira issue comment, and the table has merged cells, (e.g. with a merged title row), the table does not render properly in Jira in the outgoing comment notification. It is even recorded in a different format.

This is reproducible on Data Center: Not confirmed

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a table in a confluence page with multiple rows and multiple columns (e.g 3 x 3)
2. Merge cells in the top/title row of the confluence table
3. Paste the table into a comment in a Jira issue

Expected Results

Confluence table displays properly in both Jira issue and in the Jira notification emailed out for the comment.

Actual Results

Confluence table displays properly in the Jira issue but fails to render in the Jira notification emailed out for the comment.
In the database table it is even logged in a different format:

Expected/normal rendering in AO_4E8AE6_NOTIF_BATCH_QUEUE table (when source Confluence table has no merged cells):

<div class='table-wrap'>
<table class='confluenceTable'><tbody>
<tr>
<th class='confluenceTh'><b>Col A</b></th>
<th class='confluenceTh'><b>Col B</b></th>
<th class='confluenceTh'><b>Col C</b></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class='confluenceTd'>aaaaaaaaa</td>
<td class='confluenceTd'>bbbbbbbbbbbbb</td>
<td class='confluenceTd'>ccccccccccccc</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class='confluenceTd'>AAAAAAAAA</td>
<td class='confluenceTd'>BBBBBBBBB</td>
<td class='confluenceTd'>CCCCCCCCCC</td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
</div>

Actual/abnormalrendering in AO_4E8AE6_NOTIF_BATCH_QUEUE table (when source Confluence table has merged cells):

 
<!-- ADF macro (type = 'table') -->

Workaround

Copy table across without any merged cells.

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