Are you making any special move? Is all browser cache cleared?

Can you also check on a new Gutenberg page with only this table as content? (I’m searching for any block conflict here). * Thanks for reporting!

Could you try coping it as HTML and see what happens with merged cells? * Thanks. * Thread Starter [strarsis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/strarsis/) * (@strarsis) * [7 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/advanced-table-block-broken-javascript-errors/#post-10915404) * [@joomunited](https://wordpress.org/support/users/joomunited/): Correct, copying the whole content of page (menu at the right, “Copy complete content”) and pasting that into another page results in the Advanced Table block being pasted as core Table block. And then even converting that Table block to an Advanced Table block doesn’t fix the broken table cells. So copying the complete content of a page seems to ignore the block types, at least in this case. This appears to be rather an issue in Gutenberg itself.
