ASCX design mode glitches

I stay purely in the aspnet source side rather then designer side

I've experienced the same problem and just figured that it was a bug in VS.

I rarely use the design mode any more because of it.

You don't have to hit F5 in your browser?
How does the browser know to refresh the page?

I meant hit F5 to run the web application.

You have to refresh the page if you want to see any changes you made....
