The late-time distribution function P(x, t) of a particle diffusing in a one-dimensional logarithmic potential is calculated for arbitrary initial conditions. We find a scaling solution with three surprising features: (i) the solution is given by two distinct scaling forms, corresponding to a diffusive (x similar to t(1/2)) and a subdiffusive (x similar to t(gamma) with a given gamma < 1/2) length scale, respectively, (ii) the overall scaling function is selected by the initial condition, and (iii) depending on the tail of the initial condition, the scaling exponent that characterizes the scaling function is found to exhibit a transition from a continuously varying to a fixed value.
