Could you please put together an example of this in R-patched?  I don't 
see it at all.  (I don't know if it has already been fixed, or if I am 
just misunderstanding your description.)

What I see is that fix() on a numeric or integer vector gives a text 
editor.  fix() on a dataframe containing either gives me the spreadsheet.
