Inconsistent table-border weights in RoboHelp 2019 (new UI)

Question

Anyone have any idea what's going on here? Whenever I import a document into my RoboHelp project, the tables look fine while I am editing them.

However, when I generate my project (Responsive HTML5), the table-border weights are inconsistent. Sometimes they're heavier, and sometimes they're the right weight (0.5 pt).

I've been playing around with my CSS for a long time in an attempt to figure out what's going on. My best guess is that something's happening when I import the document—maybe there's an underlying style hidden in Word that I can't find.

One last note of interest—the tables look okay in Internet Explorer. The weight changes appear in Chrome and Edge.

When you import, do you have the "Import inline styles" setting in the Advanced tab selected? If so, that would probably explain it. You can also check for inline styles by switching to code view using the angle brackets icon (</>).

If you do have inline formatting, you can clear the inline formatting, but I'd recommend doing it in a test project first, and you will probably need to apply a proper style to the table after that (you might need to create a fresh style if you don't already have one in the css). To clear the formatting, click inside the table, then select the table using the breadcrumbs at the top of the topic, switch to the General panel in the right pane and click the Clear Formatting icon.

If you don't have the inline style import setting selected, is the stylesheet upgraded from classic? If yes, the problem could be with how that upgraded. Post back and I can make a suggestion.
