Hi  
OnlyOffice 9.3.1.8 on Windows 10  
Using the Spreadsheet.

Suppose I create a table with some headings and some rows of data.

I can then select the block of cells which make up the headings and the data rows - and create a Table by taking the option Insert → Table.

That works fine - except that the header row text seems to disappear.

Checking I realise that the header rows cells are still there, but that the font has been set to “White” - against a “White” cell background.

Now everyone loves a white cat in a snowstorm…

Consider fixing - unhelpful behaviour in partic for anyone starting to use the Table functionality for the the first time.

Cheers

Hi @Daksol,

Thank you for the report! We tested this on our end and were unable to reproduce the white-on-white behavior you described. In our case, when creating a table with headers enabled, the header row correctly displays white bold text on a blue background — which is the default table style, matching Microsoft Excel behavior.

Could you share:

- A short screen recording of the issue
- Your exact version
