Well, the query tool was recently changed to use the same grid control
as the view data tool, however even if you had a post-change version I
think the problem was being masked by the auto-truncation of the results
that only happens in the query tool.

Now that's really weird. I don't suppose you still have a copy of the
data prior to the changes do you? Is it something you can let me see?
