In my previous blog about the subject I observed that after adding a web part – any web part - to the page, we lose the ribbon and the “list Tools” tab.
Today, upon revisiting my list, I discovered that the problem does not go away. When I clicked on the list and got to the page, the “list tools” tab was still missing.
Again, I clicked anywhere in the list web part – this time in the empty space to the right of the “Add New Item” – the missing tab and ribbon returned.
This is a persistent behavior. Even now, after clicking the list in the breadcrumbs or the left panel, the list is re-rendered sans the extra tab. You’ll have to do the extra-click ever again!
That’s All Folks
