When a definition query is set in the layer properties in ArcMap 10.2-10.4 Prerelease, it is not being respected by the query builder. All results are returned when clicking on get unique values which will not happen in ArcMap 10.1 SP1.

3. Click once on name and click on get unique values.
4. Returned values will honor the first definition query.
