It shouldn't. I don't have the code near me until tomorrow, but as far 
as I can recall nothing is done with the view definition at all - 
there is no reason for pgAdmin to parse the SQL so it doesn't.

I'll take a look tomorrow and see if anything else might be causing 
the symptoms you're seeing.
