Buffer Issue / Query Issue in AGX 2500

Two things I am noticing in build 2500 that seem to be potential bugs.

-First, when I drag a map note from the contents into the location field of the "Buffer Point" tool from the analysis dropdown it will properly record the coordinates of that point to use with the tool, but then after I run the buffer, the symbol representing the layer I had dragged into the tool disappears from the map completely, even though it stays in the contents window as a map note. I cannot figure out how to get it back either, as I have tried changing the symbol, check on/off, etc. Am I missing something?

-Also, I used to be able to use the "Query" tool on a WMS layer from ArcServer, and it would return a layer in which I could change the symbol (and other things), but now the layer that comes back from a WMS query cannot have its symbol changed. It is stuck as an orange pin. So if a user has multiple queries in the map, the symbols are indistinguishable from each other. Is this normal?
EDIT : This also seems to be the case when querying a "map notes" layer. However, if i use "Spatial Query" on a map notes layer, you CAN change the symbol in the resulting data set. But an attribute query result you cannot change the symbol.


Overall, another great enhancement though!! Wish we could see the attribute tables of WMS layers, like ArcGIS Online can, and filter like AGO, but great improvements here for our users. Thank you for this product.

I have also found that some functionality, such as the ability to change symbology on query layers is now gone. I would have much prefered that ArcGIS Map Services (or feature services) have the capability of displaying attribute tables, changing symbology and be capable of spatial queries. I am not sure why the developers are restricting this functionality. If it is possible with the Silverlight and Flex viewers, it should be possible with a standalone desktop.

Unfortunately for our business needs i.e. interacting with our map and feature services, this version is not very useful. And our data is much too sensitive (and large) to put on ArcGIS online.

Also seems as though any query created from a service layer is now capped at 500 features?? I used to be able to create a query from a service, set the symbol to be "transparent", save this in the map file, and then use the "Zoom to Feature" add-in to allow my users to zoom to a specific store number, utilizing that query layer (I would make a basic query that results in all features being included). Now max I get is 500 features. Any idea on how to get around this?
Thanks,
Eric
