Spacing missing between tables

Bug graveyard
, ,
1

It seems like the correct spacing isn’t being rendered when there is a line break between tables.

| Table 1 | Col   |
| ------- | ----- |
| Row     | Value | 



| Table 2 | Col   |
| ------- | ----- |
| Row     | Value |

If there is text in between it renders correctly.

| Table 1 | Col   |
| ------- | ----- |
| Row     | Value | 

a

| Table 2 | Col   |
| ------- | ----- |
| Row     | Value |

Strange, I don’t see that behavior on my setup (default theme with some snippets) when I paste your example:

I also don’t see it in the Sandbox vault.

I see you’re on the Insider build and I’m not. I wouldn’t expect that to matter, but maybe it does?

Can’t replicate it on 1.4.1 either:

Are you guys on macOS? I’m able to reproduce it on 1.4.2 in the sandbox vault.

Darnit. I promise I searched before posting this duplicate.

Still seeing this as of 1.4.4…

Did another test with 1.4.6 in the sandbox vault. What I think is the missing clue here is the difference in HTML between the editing and reading view:

Notice the left-hand side is the editing view, the right-hand side is reading view.

In the reading view, the two tables are plain HTML table tags surrounded by div tags and that’s it. So it would make sense that whitespace is stripped until they touch.

In the editing view, there’s an additional div wrapping a br tag, which accounts for the white space between the tables.

This also seems to happen in Live Preview if 2 tables are present within a callout (whatever the amount of spaces between the 2 tables in the callout)

I’m not entirely sure how spaces works within callouts or if it’s useful in any way but, just in case, I thought I would mention it :innocent: .

Just hopping in to say that this is still an issue in v1.5.0 (verified in the sandbox vault)

Can confirm :pensive: …

In the meantime, as a workaround, I now tend to use a comment as a “table separator” to avoid this :sweat_smile: …

| A | B |
| ---- | ---- |
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |

%% Table separator %%

Let me know if you still have this problem in 1.5.4 when it is released.
