Dan, I agree, I've seen this effect as well. Mine is definitely a single table form and the only way to resolve it is, as you say, to close and re-open the form. It is rare, in my case at least, and I cannot make it happen so I can't report it as it's not possible to replicate it once - let alone repeatedly - and 99.999% of the time there's no problem.
