SQL Developer 1.5.5 does not show partition tab

Question

I recently switched to SQL Developer 1.5.5 on RHEL 5.3 with Java 1.6.0_13. In 1.5.5, there is no partition tab when I view the table details. However version 1.5.4 shows the partition tab. Was this intentionally removed or is it a bug?
Here's an example of how my table was created:
CREATE TABLE "FOO"."TEST_PARTITION"
(     "ID" NUMBER,
     "TIMEFIELD" TIMESTAMP (6),
     CONSTRAINT "TEST_PARTITION_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("ID") ENABLE
PARTITION BY RANGE ("TIMEFIELD")
(PARTITION "TEST_PARTITION_20090101" VALUES LESS THAN (TIMESTAMP' 2009-01-01 00:00:00'),
PARTITION "TEST_PARTITION_20100101" VALUES LESS THAN (TIMESTAMP' 2010-01-01 00:00:00'),
PARTITION "TEST_PARTITION_20110101" VALUES LESS THAN (TIMESTAMP' 2011-01-01 00:00:00'),
PARTITION "TEST_PARTITION_20120101" VALUES LESS THAN (TIMESTAMP' 2012-01-01 00:00:00') ) ;

Yes, you are correct. I am able to select my existing partitioned tables and then if I select yours, I can see the partitions and the details. But when I ran the script you provided from the outset the tabs were not visible, I could only see them after I'd selected one of my partitioned tables first. As you say, this is not the case in 1.5.1, but is so for 1.5.5. I have logged a bug 8713231, and will have the developers look into it.
The database does matter in general, as we display different tabs for the different databases, but as you're on 11g, that is not the issue.
