This might be a good question to ask on the PGAdmin mailing list or even try using the latest
version of PGAdmin.  Perhaps this is something that PGAdmin is doing rather than postgresql.

If you open psql -U your_db_user -d your_database_name.

and type:

\d schema_name.view_name

was does it show as the definition of the column.
