Overview

Starting with Confluence 5.0-rc1, a compatibility bug (CONF-28098) was introduced that overrides attempts by users and macros to provide row level background setting. For instance, this impacts table-based macros including:

• Table Plus macro
• CSV Table macro

This impacts at least the following:

• Row highlighting on mouse-over
• Customized row styles like table stripping - see see How to control table display characteristics for  for instance

It also impacts users using more advanced table producing techniques that use the confluenceTable style.

CONF-28098 will be  is fixed in 5.1.2 and 5.2, until then the following work around can be used to revert the error to the previous state.

While the problem may not have appeared in Cloud, it will . Unfortunately, the workaround suggested above is not available with Cloud. Alternatives are to use the css CSS macro and insert the equivalent css CSS onto a page. If you are using the documentation theme, it is also possible to insert the css CSS macro in the Header section of the theme configuration so that it can apply to the entire space.
