Describe the bug
I attempted to see if this existed but I was unable to find anything about it. Hopefully I'm not reposting an issue. But tables in my Bookstack have consistent issues with not reflecting changes made to them via the Bookstack webapp features. The source itself changes but the webapp displays almost no changes.
Changes that do not seem to reflect in Bookstack:
Cell Spacing
Cell Padding
Border

Steps To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Create any page
Make a table of any size
Using the table editor change any of the following values Cell Spacing, Cell Padding, or Border.
See that Bookstack itself does not reflect those changes

Expected behavior

Create any page
Make a table of any size
Using the table editor change any of the following values Cell Spacing, Cell Padding, or Border.
See that Bookstack itself does reflect those changes

Screenshots

Your Configuration (please complete the following information):

Exact BookStack Version (Found in settings):
BookStack v0.29.3 ( I pulled the most recent just before testing this)
PHP Version:
PHP 7.3.18 (cli) (built: May 15 2020 16:10:31) ( NTS )
Copyright (c) 1997-2018 The PHP Group
Zend Engine v3.3.18, Copyright (c) 1998-2018 Zend Technologies
Hosting Method (Nginx/Apache/Docker): Docker

Additional context
I have no additional header changes via settings

The reason I noticed this was because I was trying to use a different border type, noticed the change "seemed ineffective", attempted to increase the border width via the "border" option and it would not change the size.

The way for me to get around it was to edit the source and put in the style style="border: 2px white dotted" of the table itself. Which increased the size, set the type and color. Even though border width was what I really cared about.

Hopefully I'm not just doing something wrong.
