When I have a table with set width values (eg 

), going view article will show it incorrectly. View in World works fine, but the preview of those cells does not render as a table, but instead as plain text.
First: 

Then: 

But: 


                        
Steps to Reproduce

                        

                            
    

  1. Create an article (any type fine?)
    2. 

  2. Using BB code, create a table with headers and data (like so: )
    3. 

  3. 

    Test1 headerTest2 header
    

    Test1 dataTest2 data
    

    4. 

  4. Click 'go to view mode' button near bottom of screen, with an eye
    5. 

  5. See improper formatted table and text
    6. 

  6. + can see it works fine in 'View in World' mode, to help debug
    7. 


I assume that what ever internal code is used to add the width (via css, right?) to the displayed table in world mode, is missing or error-ing in preview mode, and as such its parsing it as invalid bbcode in one but not the other.
