Hi
It depends on the implementation in the data provider (and normally on the
data type for the primary key).
In the postgres case, (up to) 32 bit integer primary keys are normally used
as fid.
With others like 64 bit integer, string or compound foreign keys it's not
possible to stick to this approach, so an internal fid to pk map is
generated by the provider at runtime.
64 bit integers cannot be directly reused as fid because QGIS stores fids
internally with 64 bit, but reserves the (negative, -1, -2, ...) half of
the available values for new, uncommitted features.

It's probably not using the column you expect for the feature id. Did
you
specify the key column when adding the view?
