On my office, I'm using XyWin under Windows 95. And from time to time I
have the same problem. Until now I didn't discover what is causing this;
the file(s) in which the problem occurs are apparently not different from
other files, nor they are longer or more complicated. I only verified that
with "that" file(s) I always have the same problem. Exiting Xy and
reentering did not fix the problem. I worked around this inserting the
table commands in expanded view.
