I wouldn't pay to fix it, Confluence isn't free. There are a lot of Open Source alternatives that provide such features out of the box. It's the only feature that shouldn't be broken.
I really hate Confluence nowadays (and I really liked in the past, when I was using it randomly):
- Counter productive syntax that is not even equal to the one of Jira
- Search functionality that cannot find anything (I spend HOURS trying to find my content, let alone somebody else's). Some days I just wish I had the DB at hand / a folder with the whole pages exported to grep it myself.
- Proprietary file format - good luck migrating away from it
I'm really sad to say these things, I like Atlassian as a company but the more I use Atlassian products, the more I realize they're bloated and have _broken_ features that were implemented quickly just to tick some more boxes on their features sheet.
