Huh? I get

regression=# SELECT * FROM a1;
description | amount
-------------+--------
asdasd | 370.00
(1 row)

regression=# SELECT description::varchar, amount FROM a1;
description | amount
-------------+--------
asdasd | 370.00
(1 row)

on both 7.3 and current ...

Sorry,

I believe it is bug in pgadmin II.

First you get no amount and when you press refresh on table or query
result is OK.

I found out this 10 min after I have posted bug and did not know where to reply to my bug report.
