Description
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 instances, this impacts table based macros including:
This impacts at least:
- Row highlighting on mouse-over
- Customized row styles like table stripping - see How to control table display characteristics for instance
It also impacts users using more advanced table producing techniques that use the confluenceTable style.
CONF-28098 will be fixed at some point after 5.0, until then the following work around can be used to revert the error to the previous state.
Steps
- Go to Confluence administration -> Look and Feel -> Custom HTML
- Edit
Add the following to the *At end of the HEAD* section and save:
<style type="text/css"> .confluenceTable .confluenceTd { background-color: transparent; } </style>
On Demand
While the problem may not have appeared in OnDemand, it will 
. Unfortunately, the workaround suggested above is not available with OnDemand. Alternatives are to use the css macro and insert the equivalent css onto a page. If you are using the documentation theme, it is also possible to insert the css macro in the Header section of the theme configuration.
