DocumentEditor freezes when copied and pasted into it the two tables beside each other from Microsoft Word

Hello,

We are using Syncfusion's DocumentEditor component v. 23.1.40

We have noticed a very strange behavior that after creating two tables beside each other in Microsoft Word and copying them all, then pasting into DocumentEditor makes it totally freeze. The same is happening on the latest version of DocumentEditor v. 23.2.4.

For your convenience, I have attached screenshots

Best regards,

Ignacy Mielniczek

Hi Ignacy,


We were unable to reproduce the reported issue "Freeze while pasting two tables beside each other from MS Word" in our latest version. We recommend you upgrade both client and server side to the latest version  (v23.2.6) packages. Please upgrade and try on your end. Please cross-check that and let us know if you need any further assistance.

Hello Kavitha,

Thank you very much for a quick response. Upgrading the DocumentEdiitor component's version to 23.2.6 fixed the problem. However, the tables which were pasted into DocumentEditor are sticking to each other and looks as it was just a single table with 2 columns and 4 rows. 

Could you please look at that problem?

I have attached screenshots for your convenience.

Best regards,

The problem of screen freezing is sloved but there is an aditional problem: the coppied columns do not lay side by side, instead they are positioned in two different lines.

Even if we tried to create tables inside table in a such way:

after copy to the DocumentEdtior we get:
