I was trying to use VBO to delete all the nodes of a given type. There are more than one page of them so I used the "Select all N rows in this view" button and started the deletion. The confirmation form lists the first 10 rows which happened to be of the right type... I didn't pay attention to the "...and 3760 more." at the bottom. Turns out that's the number of nodes I had on the site... all of which were deleted.

Fortunately I'd just made a back up so I was able to revert and try it again to double check what I'd done and yup, same problem.

That's terrible and I'm really sorry. Glad you had a backup. But which dev version are you using? I thought I fixed that on February 12: #342378: Bulk operations operates on all nodes in nodes table when select all nodes in view is chosen.

If your version is current: does it also happen with other actions?

looks like i was actually on the stable release. as soon as i'd updated to to DRUPAL-6--1 and retested it i observed the correct behavior.
