Somehow, during paging, refresh and reverting order, this happened.

I see it too:

...

I get something similar when I alter the URL so that Position is 2200, as it is in the original post.

Hi Tomas & bderoes,

Are you two still experiencing this issue? If so, can you provide what browser and version you are using?
I've been unable to replicate it on my end unfortunately.

Tried with bderoes' link (https://www.imdb.com/user/ur12436466/ratings?lastPosition=2200) on
Chrome 79.0.3945.88 and FF 71.0, reproduced in both (in anonymous mode).

Yes, still see the numbering beyond the list size.
Using same version of Chrome as Tomas, on Windows 10.
Same on Microsoft Edge 44.18362.449.0

Thanks for the additional information. I've forwarded this to our engineering team to investigate further.

We'll update this thread once we receive further information.

Thanks for your patience.

Hi Tomáš & bderoes,

So that we can continue to investigate, can you please confirm the exact steps to reproduce this issue (including any manual edits to the URL, clicks using the site navigation, refreshing, etc.)?

Thanks in advance.

As I said above, I altered the URL so that Position is 2200, as it is in the original post.
https://www.imdb.com/user/ur12436466/ratings?lastPosition=2200
But it also happens when I use the URL originally posted.

Are you (IMDb) not seeing the strange numbering when you use our posted urls?

I've perform some checks and seems like real position is stored within paginationKey property, while lastPosition is only for UI to just simply display order, so I could supply there any number between 0 and 2^31 and list numbering just get adjusted while data remains same.
So, not sure why this is here and not included within pagination key, or better why pagination uses some encoded key and not human readable values. Also, as position is needed for database query, it must be included in pagination key so last position property is redundant. So, I expect this happened as some kind of hack due to legacy code.
