Copying a text from a row, pasting it and a new table gets created

Unfortunately, the combination “Ctrl + C/Ctrl + V” (Copy/Paste) in the table does not work like that in this case.
It's not a bug of our app, but “expected” behavior of a Confluence editor. To achieve your goal, you can use "Paste as plain text" (Ctrl + Shift + V).

Macro:

Formulas do not recalculate when we move, add or remove columns

Hyperformula does not recalculates alphabetic indexes in formulas after column or row has been manually moved. We hope it will be implemented soon.
Alternatively, you should save changes after column/row moving and reload the page. Now columns/rows identifier display correctly.

Macro:

After applying inline changes in the table, Contributor summary macro does not show updates

Unfortunately, Contributor summary shows changes done in edit mode. Due to Atlassian REST API limitations Contributor summary does not get updated. Please refer to https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-discussions/Update-content-API-does-not-update-Contributor-summary/m-p/2599930#M12395
