I don't have a working pgadmin env at the moment - any chance someone who has built it could show a screenshot?
I've certainly had customers complain about pgadmin in the case of many databases, though it's generally been on account of performance, and not something like this.

Thanks Adam.
What do others feel about this proposed patch? I can see how it might be useful, however I'm also concerned about overloading the UI with more info - and in over a decade I don't recall anyone ever asking for this feature or complaining of the issue Adam describes (though, it is clearly feasible).
