This is specific to the scrollbar: paging/End work fine -- so the original subject list was seriously misleading. It is a Windows limitation on scrollbars -- there was code to work around it, but it was not switched on - will be in R-devel and R-patched shortly.

If the data has more than 65535 rows in it, strange things happen. You can reproduce the problem with the following: x <- 1:66000 View(x) If you now take the scroll bar and move it to the end, you will see that the row number is now 464 and the bar has jumped back to that location. Now press the "End" and you will get to the end of the vector and the row number does show up as 66000. It appears there is some trucation happen when the value gets to be more than 65535 rows when using the scroll bar. You can move the scroll bar to about 65000 and the "Page Down" will move the data to the last row (66000). This problem only seems to happen when using the scroll bar to move within the data.
