in SharePoint 2010 I have added my webpart above list (standard list or documents library list – it doesn’t matter). After this “List Tools” tab is not visible. After some digging I have found, that problem exists even if I add one of the standard SharePoint WebParts.
Here is the same problem and description how to reproduce it:

Has anybody found the solution or real workaround for this?
//EDIT: I’ve found a “solution”. Ribbon is connected with “actual” webpart. One click on the list (to set the focus on it) and the tab is visible again 😀
Clicking on the list (setting focus on it) solved the “problem” 😉
