You are right: it is a GUI thing.
The "45" GUI has a "tendency" to [re-]select the "Correspondents" column (and deselect the "From" and "Recipients" columns). And the "38" GUI then opens with the "From" and "Recipients" columns deselected, while there is no "Correspondents" column ...
So things are less dramatic than I first thought.
