Search and replace functionality alters the formatting of Confluence page content

When using the search and replace feature (Ctrl + F / Cmd + F) in the Storage Format Editor, the formatting of the Confluence page can be altered after the search/replace feature is applied.

Specifically, this is evident when altering content nested in tables.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a page with different table content (ie. text, links, images, list styles) and add references to a specific keyword

2. Publish the page

3. Edit the page using the Storage Format Editor via ••• > Apps > Edit Storage Format

4. Use the search and replace feature to replace the specific keyword with something else

5. Save the changes

6. Reload the page

Expected result: The page format is the same as it was prior to editing the storage format

Actual result: The page format is altered with changes to the display of table content (ie. additional empty space / indentation / line breaks)
