Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Create a User Group with the following permissions:
    • Admin Login: Allowed
    • Articles Access: Allowed
    • Include this group in the "Special" access level
  2. Create a test user and assign them to this newly created User Group
  3. Log in to the Joomla administrator interface using the test user credentials
  4. Navigate to Content → Articles
  5. Observe the articles list view - note the checkboxes appear above the table and column headers are misaligned with table cells
  6. Log out and switch back to a Super User account
  7. Grant "Execute Transition" permission for articles to the previously created User Group
  8. Log back in as the test user and go to the Articles page
  9. Notice the display now renders correctly with proper alignment

Expected result

The articles list table should display properly with:

  • Checkboxes aligned in the leftmost column within the table structure
  • Table headers correctly aligned with their corresponding data columns
  • Consistent rendering regardless of workflow permissions

Example of correct display:

Actual result

When a user lacks "Execute Transition" permission:

  • Checkboxes render above/outside the table structure instead of within the first column
  • Table column headers are misaligned with their corresponding data cells
  • The overall table layout appears broken

Example of broken display:

Additional information

  • System information: Joomla 6.0.2
  • Severity: Visual/UI bug affecting users with restricted permissions
  • Workaround: Granting "Execute Transition" permission resolves the display issue, though this may not be desirable for all user roles

Just noticed (and can confirm) it is fixed via #46635
