Steps to reproduce the issue

Open the article manager in the backend and change the list limit (e.g. to 5, assuming you have more than 5 articles in your system)

Expected result

The list should show only 5 items.

Actual result

The list shows all items.

System information (as much as possible)

Joomla! 3.4.0
Microsoft SQL Server 2012

Additional comments

This is due to a change made in #5293.
An essential part of the query, namely

    $query = 'SELECT * FROM (' . $query . ') _myResults WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN ' . $start . ' AND ' . $end;

has been removed from the processLimit() function in libraries/joomla/database/query/sqlsrv.php (maybe by accident?).
