 * Hello,
 * I am sure this is already a known issue as I’ve seen a few other comments – but
   since the newest update to 1.6.0 the formatting and auto-width are completely
   messed up. Unfortunately I went through and made a LOT of major updates yesterday
   and didn’t review – now basically every table we use is very messed up and auto
   adjusting everything to a 47.5px width. After a little digging, I think this 
   is the code that is causing the issue:
 * style=”border: 1px solid rgb(209, 209, 209); border-spacing: 3px; border-collapse:
   separate !important; width: auto; max-width: 47.5px; display: table;”
 * I’m sure I could figure out a fix with some extra code myself, but I’d rather
   not go that route. Any ideas when this will be fixed / reviewed?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fauto-width-formatting-issues%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * I believe I have the same problem. All my tables are really thin now. Had to 
   adjust the auto width manually.

 * I updated to 1.6.1 but unfortunately this didn’t fix anything. Now I can’t even
   edit the tables without the formatting messing up – all text changes to the same
   settings (size, bold, font, etc) whenever I try to edit a table. The plugin is
   unusable at this point, please let us know the current progress on a fix.

 * Hi, can you please share the html of the broken table? Let me know if you need
   help with how to do that. You can also share a link to a page where the table
   is used.

 * Hello,
 * Still the same page I put in the post – [https://ardentautomation.com/shop/aag-s/](https://ardentautomation.com/shop/aag-s/)–
   all of the tables are very broken besides a couple at the bottom
 * Thank you,

 * [@tdatzko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tdatzko/) can you please open 
   an affected table in the editor and save it again? That should fix the text issue.
   Let us know if the width issue persists.

 * Okay this worked for the width issue, thank you very much!
 * However, now all of the tables that had merged cells are broken, and when I go
   to edit the table those cells no longer exist to merge. You can still see this
   on the same page – the header rows only go to the first column, they do not exist
   past that.
 * Again, thank you for the quick response on this.

   issue will be fixed in the next version.
