SPOnline Document Library view (when inserted on a page) displays an extra name field to the left?

I've had this issue for a couple of months in our new SharePoint Online Tenant (I recall it working fine initially):

When I insert a "Document Library (preview)" webpart on a Communication site page, the All Documents view appears fine, then once I change the view using the Edit Webpart option, an extra name field always appears to the left:

 

Yet when I check the view in the Document Library it appears fine:


The extra column does not appear in the Edit view option to turn off.  I have tried a number of different workarounds/methods to try and correct it - but haven't had any luck. 

 

The document library was migrated from SP2013 using Sharegate.

 

Would be interested to know if others are having the same issue? and/or if a fix is coming soon?

 

Thanks

 

  • I worked out the solution to this bug.  In the View I was using the column name "Name (linked to document)" - when I Edited the View and changed this to "Name (linked to document with edit menu)" - the view worked correctly in the page webpart. 

     

    Hope this helps.
