I can think of at least 2 reasons this could happen: 1. Corrupted preferenses 2. Problems when redawing the page, which would explaine why the column headers are also missing What happens is you scroll down a page and then back up again, if possible? If nothing changes maybe trashing the preferenses could solve the problem. A picture might make it easier to figure out.
