3.6 migration to 4.2, Lines & Points, Symbols & Queries, GMAP

Listers,

We have a strange migration issue that we are struggling to solve. In our recent migration of a GMAP-based application from MS 3.6.0 to 4.2.2, we seem to have lost the ability to query POINT and LINE files.

Below are examples from our MAP file of each layer type. All 3 layers draw as expected in 4.2 with the various specified symbols. The first is a POLYGON file and queries on it and all POLYGON files behave as expected. Next is a LINE and then a POINT layer, neither of which return any query results, although they should, and did under 3.6.

I tried drawing the point layer with huge symbols to make sure that I was definitely hitting the item I was trying to Query, but
it made no difference. Am somewhat stumped as to where to look next as I can't think why POLYGON queries would work but others would not. The only other variable in the below is the SYMBOL type: the first is VECTOR, the second is ELIPSE and the third is PIXMAP.

Any ideas would be great...

Tanya
