can you try safe mode? nevermind, the table builder is a theme component. :thinking:

i cannot reproduce this on my forum - i just edited a table in Safari and Chrome.

here is a test table on Meta

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4
1 A x hello
2 B y world
3 C z meow
4 D az woof
5 E bz tweet

also successfully edited the above table here on Meta

theme component is up to date too. hmmm maybe trying re-installing it? also make sure your Discourse instance is up to date if you haven’t already.

Hey @Festinger it would really help us if you could add some steps to repro this, e.g. your table but with obfuscated data

Thanks for your comment here @Lilly – I just checked the issue in further detail and noticed some weird behavior going on, please check my comment below.

Thanks for your comment and help, @nat.

I created a video cast of this where you can see the issue. I found out that the combination between SHIFT + U will occur in a hard refresh of the table editor popup and redirect to the index of the forum.

Please check this video cast:

I hope this helps. :slight_smile:
