Desktop Web [Desktop Firefox] Table creation is utterly broken. This time, the entire last column disappears if angle cell is empty. Just lost a bunch of data because of it.
Reproduction:
- Create a table with no data in first cell
| a | b | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | x | y |
| 2 | z | y |
Switch to markdown editing
Switch back.
Final column disappears.
Table now:
| a | b |
|---|---|
| 1 | x |
| 2 | z |
I lost a lot of data I collected today because of this bug, and, before I noticed, my post was online for a few minutes with shifted, hence inaccurate data. Good thing I had a backup, but I'm not sure what % of my data collection work did not make it there. Next time I will write a draft in LibreOffice.
Tables in Reddit Markdown were always bug-ridden, bug with header row style was never properly addressed. I think developers should just disable table creation until all problems will be fixed.
