So, just to be clear, the query tool will display the data correctly, even
if the maximum column length option is increased to accommodate the largest
data item?

I want to be clear about this because in SVN trunk now, the grid code is
shared between the two tools so both /should/ fail, but the column length
option might be masking the problem in the query tool.
