BUG? Repeating tag syntax in VS 2008 source mode...?

I don't know if it's a Developer Express control library issue regarding
VS2008, but very frequently i find myself checking the source view, so that I
remove manually all the repeating control property values and leave only one
that is needed. It's very frustrating and slows development dramatically. I
don't know the cause.

When I notice that after I make a minor change in VS design mode, the
asterisk that denotes a design change on the tab, is displayed after a long
delay (8-15 seconds sometimes), then I know that I must do all the things I
mention above.

One thing, I think it might be the cause is, when after I change something,
I go quickly and save the page before the asterisk shows. I think this messes
up the file saving process and merges the previous and after tags's state,
but again I'm not sure

I give a small example with two consecutive control property tags. (I've
seen up to 5-6 other statements repeating one after the other):

<SettingsBehavior AllowDragDrop="False" AutoExpandAllGroups="True"
ConfirmDelete="True" />
<SettingsBehavior AllowDragDrop="False" AutoExpandAllGroups="True"
ConfirmDelete="True" />

If anyone has seen this, please add any comment.
I use VS2008 9.0.21022.8 RTM with .NET 3.5 SP1

TIA
