I can confirm this happening to me too, using FM 5.5.6.
I don't think it's restricted to any specific version of FM.
Once you see this in front of you, you immediately realize
that it's not some odd setting you've made. It should be
*impossible* to create this effect in FM.

Generally, the effect goes away if you force the table to
re-flow, for instance by adding/deleting rows or change
the page breaks, or resetting the table title position.

The effect has probably nothing to do with the table format
or the table title format. It happens when a particular
layout situation occurs when a table is rendered in FM, e.g.
a combination of a particular size and/or number of rows
together with the physical space remaining on a page. FM gets
confused about where the table ends, and puts the table title
in between two rows.

It's undoubtedly the weirdest thing I've seen in FM...
