Fields do not display in an attribute table despite being turned on in Layer Properties

Description

Data in an attribute table can be displayed and organized to suit the needs of a user's current analysis. The visibility of the fields can be set by clicking Turn All Fields On, Turn All Fields Off, or checking the boxes next to the field's name in the Layer Properties dialog box.

In some instances, when all fields are checked in the Layer Properties dialog box, some fields are not displayed in the attribute table.

Cause

This issue may occur due to the following reasons:

• The field column width is too small, causing the field to be invisible.
• The table has been edited multiple times.
• The map document is corrupt.
• The Normal.gxt file is corrupt.
