Comment:

 @urvik1 Thanks for the report!

 When there are items, that top section does have a Bulk actions dropdown
 and item count (plus any pagination links). So hiding that only when there
 are no items requires more than a CSS change.

 The `display_tablenav` function checks for any items **after** creating
 the `tablenav` container div:
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/branches/5.6/src/wp-admin/includes
 /class-wp-list-table.php?marks=1318#L1307
 If we add a `no-items` class (or similar), then that container could be
 hidden.

 Another possibility for consideration: only show the "No items" message,
 without markup for either the top section or the table.
