I am using the "View" function to look at a data frame.  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.
