Item5865: TablePlugin should support rowspan from header row

| *A* | *B* | *C* | *D* | 
| ^ | One One | One Two | One Three |
| ^ | Two One | ^ | Two Three | 
| ^ | Three One | Three Two | ^ | 

should provide this result (screenshot )

and works as expected (matches screenshot) twiki.org.

It doesn't work as expected at develop.twiki.org. (It also fails at my Company, where I am trying to understand why!)

Vicki - TWiki.org runs 4.1.1 - what are you running?

I'm suspicious that it might not be TablePlugin, rather the core doing something different. - I'm afraid we should contemplate the Urgency of this issue :/ Kicking it up to let Kenneth know (though given the timing, defering to 4.2.2 is likely)

We're running 4.0.5 with various plugins updated at Work (where this fails).

It succeeds (works as expected) on two personal sites that are running, respectively, 4.1.1 and 4.1.2.

note. The failure of the spans is essentially cosmetic.

What's nasty is that the columns appear to be shifted left so the data is offset. (cell s One One, Two One, and Three One should be in column B but they appear to be in column A . Column D appears to be empty.)

-- TWiki:Main.VickiBrown - 11 Aug 2008

Anyone come up with a fix yet? Or a reason for the failure? Something I can test?

-- TWiki:Main.VickiBrown - 17 Aug 2008

New data. A span into a footer row also fails.

A user mistakenly used this format:

%TABLE{ headerrows="1" footerrows="1"}% 
| *A* | *B* | *C* | *D* |
| New | One One | One Two | One Three |
| ^ | Two One | ^ | Two Three |
| Old | Three One | Three Two | ^ |
| ^ | Four One | Four Two | Four Three |

Anyone volunteering to fix this for 4.2.4?

Otherwise I will not let is block a 4.2.4 release.

One interesting observation: If you sort the tables by clicking on a column header, the redrawn parts are formatted correctly w.r.t. the table structure (empty cells of a span get filled, though, which might not be desired). In the lower table, the fixed footer row keeps its wrong format.

The issue is because of "thead", "tbody" separators. Need to have better algorithm to add this. Currently I just removed those from TablePlugin.

Closing this bug - if you really need thead/tbody - please feel free to re-open this bug.
