@Jay,

They are contextual, and appear when the cursor is on a paragraph positioned inside a table. They follow activation of the Table toolbar.

Stuart

@Stuart,

Yes i'm aware they are contextual and they are not appearing in master after a table is inserted.

I mistakenly set this to ux-advise when it wasnt supposed to be as this is a bug. :D

OK, I see it.

Hmm, no recent changes in the Paragraph properties code...

http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/svx/uiconfig/ui/sidebarparagraph.ui#198

lines 198-257

But, with a table selected, if you toggle away from the Properties content panel to Styles and Formatting and then back to Properties--the buttons do appear on the content panel.

So, something in detecting the state of table object selected not refreshing the Paragraph content panel on the Properties tab?

@Jay: Is it still an issue? I'm no longer able to reproduce it with current master, nor with 5.0.0.2.

The problem seems to be gone in dbgutil bibisect repository version
2015-07-07, although it was still present in dbgutil bibisect
repository version 2015-05-20.  So, I am setting bug status
WORKSFORME.

Sorry for the delay. Yes it has been working for a while now. :D
