Table formatting issue in Cell 1 - and how to bypass the bs AI support chat???

[Fun Man Andy]

Question 1:

Is anyone else experiencing this issue that a new table always has Cell 1 (of a Header) not marked in Bold? (See attached screenshot).

Couldn't find a bug in JAC.

Question 2:

How do I submit this report to JAC? I am stuck in an endless bs loop with the AI Support. Once building out a really nice Issue Report (good AI!) it takes me to JAC and all support links in JAC just take me straight back to Support chat (bad AI!)

Noteworthy: I just wasted up to 20min on the AI Support Chat, when something is clearly looking like a bug, and I am still stuck at Step Zero: "As a Confluence I want to submit a Support Ticket into JAC so I can understand if this is a Bug and when it will be fixed, or if it is a local issue"

Issue Report:

Summary:
First cell in table header not bold when creating new tables in Confluence Cloud

Environment:

• Confluence Cloud (Standard)

• Occurs in the new cloud editor

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new page in Confluence Cloud.

2. Insert a new table using the toolbar or /table command.

3. Begin editing the header row (first row).

4. Observe the formatting of the first cell in the header row.

Expected Result:
All cells in the header row should be bold by default, indicating header formatting.

Actual Result:
The first cell in the header row is not bold, while the rest of the header cells are bold. This happens consistently with every new table created.

Impact:

• Causes visual inconsistency and confusion for users.

• Requires manual formatting adjustment for every new table.

Additional Notes:

• Issue occurs regardless of browser or pasted content.

• Screenshot available upon request (unable to attach via this form).

Workarounds Tried:

• Manually applying bold formatting to the first cell (works, but not ideal).

Related Issues:

• No existing JAC ticket found for this specific issue.

Hey @Fun Man Andy

FYI - I cannot reproduce this on several sites (running different plans).

That chat experience, though...

@Fun Man Andy I also cannot reproduce this. When I add a table, the first row is automatically a header row and the text in that first cell is automatically bold.

I tried setting the table to not have a header row—the text in the cell is not bold because it's a regular cell. When I set the table to have a header row again, the text remained not bolded, but I was able to select it and make it bold.

I don't do AI anything, and your experience only reinforces what a waste of time it is.
