Horizontal scroll bars are displayed on tables

Gabriel Belknap April 26, 2024

HI Folks, I know there was a previous post on this that had a work around, however the workaround does not work for me.

Horizontal scroll bars are displayed on tables aft... (atlassian.com)

Yesterday the tables looked perfectly fine with no scroll bar, however today the view is completely different and even with just two small columns there is a scroll bar.

Is anyone else experiencing this starting today?

Thanks

Same issue occurring for me.

Perhaps caused by copying table from Confluence to Jira?

The fix for me was:

  • Open source table (in Confluence or Jira) in separate tab/window
  • Create a new table on Jira issue - this is the destination table
  • Add or remove columns on the destination table to match the number of columns on the source table
  • Select all cells on the source table and copy
  • Place cursor in top left cell on destination table and paste

The destination table should now have all the same data as source table, but no scroll bars. You can adjust the width of the columns without the scroll bars showing up again.

Welcome to the community, @Gabriel Belknap  👋

I couldn't help but notice that the workaround post is about Confluence. However, you posted your question in the Jira Software group.

Are we talking about tables in Jira today — or Confluence?

Just making sure.

Hi @Dave Rosenlund _Trundl_  that was my mistake, my apologies.

I am referring to JIRA :)

No need to apologize, @Gabriel Belknap  👍  Not sure it helps, but I do not see the behavior you describe.

Maybe you can include a screenshot of your own, @Gabriel Belknap ?

I am stumped at this point, @Gabriel Belknap. Sorry.

Maybe someone else will speak up.

In the meantime, you may want to open a support ticket with Atlassian. I am seeing a lot of questions/noise about quirks and bugs in the horizontal scroll feature for tables in the Confluence side of the house and I am guessing the underlying technology might be the same for Jira.

IF you do open a ticket, please let us know what you learn.

Have a great weekend.
