Description
Describe the bug
When attempting to merge all cells in a table within the editor library, an unexpected extra column appears instead of creating a single merged cell.
To Reproduce
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table with multiple rows and columns in the editor
2. Select all cells in the table
3. Use the "Merge Cells" function
4. Observe the result
Expected Behavior:
All selected cells should merge into one single cell spanning the entire table area.
Actual Behavior:
Instead of a single merged cell, the table gains an extra column and cells are not properly merged.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue by creating a multi-row, multi-column table, selecting every cell, and using the “Merge Cells” function.
