In 5.1 base, table view opens without the footer that has record number and forward, backward, new buttons. Instead, the beginning of the expected word, Record, is on the left, approximately the width of the record number column in the table. Then, a white and a grey section overwriting what should be in the footer. When the cursor is dragged through that area, it acts as the table header does; the column resize double arrow cursor appears at the boundaries between columns. After resize of the window, the footer is shown correctly. When record search is opened, the footer is overwritten again. No versions before 5.1 had this problem. 5.0.5 did not do this.
Yes, the problem is a real pain because the only way to see the footer controls with this bug in LO v5.1 is to resize the window every time a table is opened! Hope this gets fixed soon. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 97731 ***
