In the thingy_spec.pdf I read this:
The Display column determines what is show to the user when viewing a Thing, and the View Screen Title column determines what fields are used to make up the title on the view screen.
When I look at the view tab in the editThing function I see a dropdown list that isn't in the spec: Default View. It gives me two options 'Add Thing.' or 'Search'. The default is Search.
When I view a Thing I do not get a page that shows me data from within that thing (as I expected from the spec) but a page that tells me search screen title and a search box.
Perhaps a paginated list with all the data from the Thing would be more intuitive. The spec is not really clear on this, but I would expect to see some data when I click the 'view' button and not an empty search page.

For reference, here is the demo I played with Thingy in http://beta.webgui.org/demo1208039752_567/example-thingy-page
This is not a bug. It's how Thingy is supposed to work. At this time, Thingy has no function that lists all data from a Thing. If it had this function, than it would probably be a good idea to add this to the default view options. But that's an RFE and not a bug.
If you don't like the fact that the button that goes to the default view is called 'view', than you can easily change this in the template. The add and search url's are available in the template.

It's not that I don't like it. It just not what I expected. But if it's not a bug this should probably be closed.
All I did was report the things that seemed a bug (not as they supposed to work according to what spec that I had) to me.
Closing based on the previous comments.
